Abstract

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have emerged as the dominant model across various AI applications. In the era of IoT and mobile systems, the efficient deployment of DNNs on embedded platforms is vital to enable the development of intelligent applications. In this talk I will present our recent work on the optimised mapping of DNNs on embedded settings, focusing on DNN -to-accelerator toolflows, and discussing the challenges but also the opportunities in applying reconfigurable computing for the realisation of intelligent embedded systems.
