Abstract |
This paper presents a programmable System-On-a-chip (SoC) for various embedded smart applications that need Neural Network computations. The system is fully implemented into a prototyping platform based on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The SoC consists of an embedded processor core and a reconfigurable hardware accelerator for neural computations. The performance of the SoC is evaluated using a real image processing application, an optical character recognition (OCR) system. |
