IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishQuantization via fixed-point representation is commonly used to reduce the complexity of Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets). It is particularly suited for accelerating edge-inference on embedded devices as it enables to reduce resource requirements with no loss of prediction quality. However, porting integer ConvNets on low-end CPUs is not straightforward: it calls for proper software design and organization with a high degree of hardware awareness. Today there are plenty of fixed-point libraries integrated into different inference engines which provide design support. The aim of this work is to review the most stable tools and analyze their performance on different use-cases processed on embedded boards powered by Arm Cortex-A cores. The collected results provide an interesting analysis with useful guidelines for developers and hardware designers.

| Abstract: | Quantization via fixed-point representation is commonly used to reduce the complexity of Convolut...ional Neural Networks (ConvNets). It is particularly suited for accelerating edge-inference on embedded devices as it enables to reduce resource requirements with no loss of prediction quality. However, porting integer ConvNets on low-end CPUs is not straightforward: it calls for proper software design and organization with a high degree of hardware awareness. Today there are plenty of fixed-point libraries integrated into different inference engines which provide design support. The aim of this work is to review the most stable tools and analyze their performance on different use-cases processed on embedded boards powered by Arm Cortex-A cores. The collected results provide an interesting analysis with useful guidelines for developers and hardware designers. |
