Accelerating Deep Learning Using Altera FPGAs

Bill Jenkins, Senior Product Specialist for High Level Design Tools at Intel, presents the Accelerating Deep Learning Using Altera FPGAs tutorial at the May 2016 Embedded Vision Summit. While large strides have recently been made in the development of highperformance systems for neural networks based on multicore technology, significant challenges in power, cost and, performance scaling remain. Fieldprogrammable gate arrays (FPGAs) are a natural choice for implementing neural networks because they can
