Bearing this in mind, it’s possible to encode BCD 8421 values in one of two ways:unpackedorpacked. In the case of unpacked BCD, each BCD digit is encoded into the four least-significant bits (LSBs) (bits 0 to 3
To make a fair comparison, a similar number of operators (XNOR gates and adders for popcounts) were assumed for each accelerator. In addition, the first layer, whose fmaps are normally floating-point image data, was excluded in the comparison. First, our architecture was assumed to have ...
three integer bits and seven decimal bits. With full resolution in all operators the output of the TDNN in the FPGA has 40 bits, including 25 decimal bits and a sign bit. Then some adjustments are possible in the output format—this corresponds to the optimized model. First, the sign bit...
