The DNN accelerator supports flexible activation functions, including ReLU, PReLU, ReLU6, tanh and sigmoid. The EV7x supports all CNNs including popular networks such as MobileNet, GoogLeNet, ResNet, Yolo, Faster R-DNN, and ICNet. Designers can run CNN graphs originally trained for 32-bit floating point hardware on the EV7x’s DNN accelerator using 8- or 12-bit resolution significantly reducing the power and area of their designs while maintaining high levels of detection accuracy.
The DNN accelerator is supported by a high-performance DMA for transferring image data from external memory into the internal closely coupled memories.
Highlights & Key Features
- DNN accelerator features advanced hardware and software techniques for improving performance and reducing bandwidth and latency
- High productivity MetaWare EV Development Toolkit’s DNN mapping tool automatically dispatches processing tasks to available hardware resources for faster execution
