Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A 183.4-nJ/inference single-chip wired-logic DNN processor that is capable of recognizing all 35 commands defined in the industrial standard voice recognition data set (Google Speech Command Dataset) is developed. The algorithm-circuit co-optimized processor recognizes 3.5 times more commands with 1.6 times higher energy efficiency than the state-of-the-art analog processor while keeping design cost low. By implementing all the processing circuits and wiring required for the 16-layer DNN onto a single chip, the need to store weight coefficients and intermediate data in DRAM/SRAM is eliminated. Owing to the proposed architecture, a low power consumption of 152.8 ?W is achieved, which is low enough for always-on applications on battery-powered IoT devices.
