ESWEEK 2021 - Education Class B2, Saturday, October 9, 2021
Instructor: Dr. Nicolas J Fraser, Xilinx

Abstract: Machine learning algorithms have been gradually displacing traditional programming techniques across multiple domains, including domains that require low-latency and high-throughput, such as telecommunications and networking. Neural networks designed for these applications may require specialised accelerators in order meet the constraints of their deployment environment. During this talk, we will discuss various forms of specialisations that have been leveraged by the industry with their impact on potential applications, flexibility, performance and efficiency. Furthermore, we will discuss how the specialization in hardware architectures can be automated through end-to-end tool flows.
