Demonstration Abstract: Accelerating Embedded Deep Learning Using DeepX

Abstract

Deep learning has revolutionized the way sensor measurements are interpreted and application of deep learning has seen a great leap in inference accuracies in a number of fields. However, the significant requirement for memory and computational power has hindered the wide scale adoption of these novel computational techniques on resource constrained wearable and mobile platforms. In this demonstration we present DeepX, a software accelerator for efficiently running deep neural networks and convolutional neural networks on resource constrained embedded platforms, e.g., Nvidia Tegra K1 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 400.
