Keynote - Digital Hardware Acceleration for Neural Networks: Implementation Considerations [slides]

Frédéric Pétrot, Professor at TIMA Lab, Grenoble Institute of Technology, University Grenoble-Alpes, France

Abstract: The computations performed to achieve inference with deep neural networks range from hundreds of MFLOPs to tens of GFLOPs, and require access to a number of parameters that goes from around a million to over billions. Under these conditions, conventional CPUs have shown their limits, and programmable hardware architectures with a high level of parallelism have been developed. The silicon surface area and energy consumption of these solutions is very high, and a great deal of work is done to find more economical solutions, by playing on multiple factors. This keynote will first give an overview of the approaches currently being pursued to improve performance and power consumption, while minimizing the loss of precision, and second focus on the specific example of a ternary neural network designed and developed in our group.

Bio: Frédéric Pétrot received the PhD degree in Computer Science from Universite Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI), Paris, France, in 1994, where has been Assistant Professor in Computer Science until September 2004. He joined TIMA in September 2004, where he holds a professor position at Grenoble Institute of Technology, France. His research interests are in multiprocessor systems on chip architectures, including circuits and software aspects, and CAD tools for the design and evaluation of hardware/software systems. He currently holds the Digital Hardware AI Architectures chair of Grenoble Multidisciplinary Institute in Artificial Intelligence.
