Topic:Deep Learning Trend and how NVDLA empowers it

Abstract:
Deep learning has proved itself as a break-through technology for different problem domains (e.g.: NLP, computer vision, recommendation, etc.), however, due to tremendous computation workloads required, deploy deep learning on embedded system (e.g.: Mobile phones, Drones, etc.) become a challenge for industry.
NVDLA is designed to overcome this problem by providing a high performance, low power solution. In this talk, we’re going to cover topics below:
* Basic concepts in deep learning;
* Research trend for deep learning landing;
* Challenges for design a deep learning accelerator and how NVDLA achieved that;
