Title
Efficient Computing Platform Design for Autonomous Driving Systems
Abstract
ABSTRACTAutonomous driving is becoming a hot topic in both academic and industrial communities. Traditional algorithms can hardly achieve the complex tasks and meet the high safety criteria. Recent research on deep learning shows significant performance improvement over traditional algorithms and is believed to be a strong candidate in autonomous driving system. Despite the attractive performance, deep learning does not solve the problem totally. The application scenario requires that an autonomous driving system must work in real-time to keep safety. But the high computation complexity of neural network model, together with complicated pre-process and post-process, brings great challenges. System designers need to do dedicated optimizations to make a practical computing platform for autonomous driving. In this paper, we introduce our work on efficient computing platform design for autonomous driving systems. In the software level, we introduce neural network compression and hardware-aware architecture search to reduce the workload. In the hardware level, we propose customized hardware accelerators for pre- and post-process of deep learning algorithms. Finally, we introduce the hardware platform design, NOVA-30, and our on-vehicle evaluation project.
