HARDWARE ACCELERATOR FOR COMPRESSED GRU ON FPGA

摘要

The present technical disclosure relates to artificial neural networks, e.g., gated recurrent unit (GRU). In particular, the present technical disclosure relates to how to implement a hardware accelerator for compressed GRU based on an embedded FPGA. Specifically, it proposes an overall design processing method of matrix decoding, matrix-vector multiplication, vector accumulation and activation function. In another aspect, the present technical disclosure proposes an overall hardware design to implement and accelerate the above process.
