Deep Neural Networks on Edge Devices with Vitis AI

Webinar


The pervasive use of AI in imaging tasks is showing in all markets and many products need to provide similar functionality. Often the core technologies are not easily available in scalable implementations, and this is where AMD FPGAs or Adaptive SoC can provide excellent solutions.
We will show how convolutional neural networks (CNN) models can be accelerated on AMD Adaptive SoCs with the help of the Vitis AI toolchain. The focus of this talk is set on understanding the modeling framework topology and parameter database based on simple models to gain insight into what a good fidelity-trained floating point model would resemble. This performance needs to be validated in the translation process through Vitis AI, like checking and correlating accuracy before and after quantization. A translation into microcode for the DPU is done by the Vitis AI compiler. Demonstrating the execution when finally running a model on the Deep Learning Processing Unit (DPU) inside the devices, the performance gain will become evident. The session closes by discussing how to integrate the DPU accelerator into an actual design and provides insight into pre-processing and post-processing approaches for data preparation.
