A survey of neural network accelerator with software development environments

摘要

Recent years,the deep learning algorithm has been widely deployed from cloud servers to terminal units.And researchers proposed various neural network accelerators and software development environments.In this article,we have reviewed the representative neural network accelerators.As an entirety,the corresponding software stack must consider the hardware architecture of the specific accelerator to enhance the end-to-end performance.And we summarize the programming environments of neural network accelerators and optimizations in software stack.Finally,we comment the future trend of neural network accelerator and programming environments.
