Prototype and Deploy Deep Learning Networks on FPGAs and SoCs

From the series: Signal Processing and Wireless – Webinar Series

Overview

For system designers looking to integrate deep learning into their FPGA-based applications, the talk helps teach the challenges and considerations for deploying to FPGA hardware and details the workflow in MATLAB. We will briefly show how to explore and prototype trained networks on FPGAs using prebuilt bitstreams from MATLAB. You can further customize your network to meet your performance requirements and hardware resource usage, generate HDL, and integrate it into an FPGA-based edge inference system.

Highlights

  • Prototype network without FPGA programming using available bitstreams for popular FPGA development boards
  • Profile networks and use quantization to improve performance
  • Configure and Generate Custom Deep Learning Processor
  • Deploy custom RTL implementations of the deep learning processor to any FPGA, ASIC, or SoC device
