Talk Title
Algorithm and Hardware Co-Design for Energy-Efficient Deep Learning
Abstract
In the emerging artificial intelligence era, deep neural networks (DNNs), a.k.a. deep learning, have gained unprecedented success in various applications. However, DNNs are usually storage intensive, computation intensive and very energy consuming, thereby posing severe challenges on the future wide deployment in many application scenarios, especially for the resource-constraint low-power IoT application and embedded systems. In this talk, I will introduce the algorithm/hardware co-design works for energy-efficient DNN in my group. First, I will show the use of low displacement rank (LDR) matrices and low-rank tensor can enable the construction of low-complexity DNN models as well as the corresponding energy-efficient DNN hardware accelerators. In the second part of my talk, I will show the benefit of using structured and unstructured sparsity of DNN for designing low-latency and low-power DNN hardware accelerators.
