Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We propose a processor architecture for neural network (NN) training in edge and prototype it on an FPGA (Field--Programmable Gate Array). Currently, neural networks are widely employed in arti?cial intelligence (AI), and there is a pressing need for the development of dedicated hardware for edge side AI training. To address this demand, the Holmes optimizer has been proposed and proved to have capability of faster convergence with a smaller memory footprint compared toother optimizers. Therefore, this paper presents a hardware architecture that incorporates Holmes and leverages parallelization and pipelining techniques to achieve signi?can't throughput improvements. Furthermore, based on this architecture, we evaluated the hardware resource consumption of the proposed architecture by implementing it on an FPGA. This research focuseson proposing a hardware architecture suitable for neural network learning and its FPGA implementation. It contributes to theadvancement of hardware for neural network-based AI learning, which is of paramount importance given the widespread usageof neural networks in AI applications.
