Compact CNN Accelerator IP Core

Description

The Lattice Semiconductor Compact CNN Accelerator IP Core is a calculation engine for Deep Neural Network with fix point weights or binarized weights. It calculates full layers of neural network including convolution layer, pooling layer, batch normalization layer and full connect layer by executing sequence code with weight values which is generated by the Lattice Neural Network Compiler tool. Engine is optimized for convolutional neural network, which is why it can be used for vision-based application such as classification or face detection and key phrase detection. The engine is not a simple accelerator which requires an extra processor; it can do all required calculations by itself.
