Abstract: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have a broad range of applications, such as image processing and natural language processing. Inspired by the mammalian visual cortex, CNNs have been shown to achieve impressive results on a number of computer vision challenges, but often with large amounts of processing power and no timing restrictions. This paper presents a design methodology for accelerating CNNs using Hardware/Software Co-design techniques, in order to balance performance and flexibility, particularly for resource-constrained systems. The methodology is applied to a gender recognition case study, using an ARM processor and FPGA fabric to create an embedded system that can process facial images in real-time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
