Title
Automated Neural Network Accelerator Generation Framework for Multiple Neural Network Applications
Abstract
Neural networks are widely used in various applications, but general neural network accelerators support only one application at a time. Therefore, information for each application, such as synaptic weights and bias data, must be loaded quickly to use multiple neural network applications. Field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based implementation has huge performance overhead owing to low data transmission bandwidth. In order to solve this problem, this paper presents an automated FPGA-based multi-neural network accelerator generation framework that can quickly support several applications by storing neural network application data in an on-chip memory inside the FPGA. To do this, we first design a shared custom hardware accelerator that can support rapid changes in multiple target neural network applications. Then, we introduce an automated multi-neural network accelerator generation framework that performs training, weight quantization, and neural accelerator synthesis.
