Low Power Edge AI SoC for Quantized Deep Neural Network

Abstract

Quantized Deep Neural Network is very important for edge devices that enable low power inference. In this session, we present a new Edge AI SoC with custom hardware implementations for quantized Deep Neural Networks and post-training quantization approach to improve accuracy and performance. Deep Neural Networks require massive memory accesses and computations. These hardware and software techniques can realize low power and high performance of edge devices.
