Abstract
In one embodiment, a computing device includes an input sensor providing an input data; a programmable logic device (PLD) implementing a convolutional neural network (CNN), wherein: each compute block of the PLD corresponds to one of a multiple of convolutional layers of the CNN, each compute block of the PLD is placed in proximity to at least two memory blocks, a first one of the memory blocks serves as a buffer for the corresponding layer of the CNN, and a second one of the memory blocks stores model-specific parameters for the corresponding layer of the CNN.
