FPRaker: A Processing Element For Accelerating Neural Network Training

no code implementations15 Oct 2020 Omar Mohamed Awad, Mostafa Mahmoud, Isak Edo, Ali Hadi Zadeh, Ciaran Bannon, Anand Jayarajan, Gennady Pekhimenko, Andreas Moshovos

We demonstrate that FPRaker can be used to compose an accelerator for training and that it can improve performance and energy efficiency compared to using conventional floating-point units under ISO-compute area constraints.

BitPruning: Learning Bitlengths for Aggressive and Accurate Quantization

no code implementations8 Feb 2020 Miloš Nikolić, Ghouthi Boukli Hacene, Ciaran Bannon, Alberto Delmas Lascorz, Matthieu Courbariaux, Yoshua Bengio, Vincent Gripon, Andreas Moshovos

Neural networks have demonstrably achieved state-of-the art accuracy using low-bitlength integer quantization, yielding both execution time and energy benefits on existing hardware designs that support short bitlengths.
