Hardware Accelerators – Exploring Power and Performance in Today’s AI
The need for high-speed, low-power processing is at an all-time high. As emerging AI algorithms require thousands of computations, we can look to offload the processing from the CPU to a specifically designed hardware accelerator. This offboarding can lower the computation time, the power consumption, and the headache. Join us as we explore the design process from algorithm to hardware accelerator on a RISC-V processor as we quantify power consumption and performance.
