In the recent years, FPGAs have been attracting attention as neural network accelerators for their superior performance in terms of latency and power consumption compared to CPU-and GPU-based implementations. In this study we used HDLRuby, a hardware description language including SW paradigms not available in equivalent languages. They make this language very flexible, and we took advantage of these features to freely set the number of layers and for each layer, their activation function, their number of neurons. We implemented the moduleusing the above method, simulatedit using the HDLRuby code and the Verilog HDL code. The Verilog HDLcode provesto be several times longer than the original code. |
