Eliminating the Culprit

Who, When and How

In my Fish Fry this week, I dig into India’s plans to invest five billion dollars into the construction of two new wafer fabs, investigate new developments in cloud-based EDA tools, and look into how two engineers from RF Engines Limited are raising money for humanitarian causes by riding a rickshaw.  Also this week, I offer up a brand new nerdy giveaway: a Spartan-6 FPGA SP601 Evaluation Kit. All you have to do to win is…well, you’ll just have to listen and find out!!

If you like the idea of this new series, be sure to drop a comment in the box below. I appreciate all of your comments so far, and we will be working to enhance the Fish Fry each week – as long as you’re watching.

Quantized Neural Networks for FPGA Inference

Sponsored by Intel

Implementing a low precision network in FPGA hardware for efficient inferencing provides numerous advantages when it comes to meeting demanding specifications. The increased flexibility allows optimization of throughput, overall power consumption, resource usage, device size, TOPs/watt, and deterministic latency. These are important benefits where scaling and efficiency are inherent requirements of the application.
