Cloud deep neural network optimization method based on CPU and FPGA cooperative computing

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of computer system structure design, and particularly relates to a cloud deep neural network optimization method based on CPU and FPGA cooperative computing. The method is divided into a front end part and a rear end part. The front end is a server taking a CPU as a core and is responsible for flow control, data receiving and partial processing; and therear end is an acceleration component taking the FPGA as a core, comprises a large-scale parallel processor array, a graphic processing unit, an application-specific integrated circuit and a PCI-E interface, and is responsible for parallel acceleration processing and the like of a key layer of the deep neural network. Firstly, the deep neural network is divided into two parts suitable for front-end processing and rear-end processing according to different levels; the front end shuttles the received data between the front end and the rear end by DDR in the form of a data stream to process eachlayer or a combined layer. The front-end flexible process control is matched with the rear-end efficient parallel structure, so that the energy efficiency ratio of neural network calculation can be greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of computer architecture design, and in particular relates to a cloud deep neural network optimization method based on CPU and FPGA collaborative computing. Background technique [0002] In the process of human-computer interaction where multiple interaction modes coexist, interactive modal data with different characteristics and corresponding deep learning models, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs for short) models, etc., will be generated to construct deep learning Algorithms require long hours and large computing resources. The current mainstream computing architecture includes the following three types: GPU, FPGA, and application-specific custom chip (ASIC). [0003] GPUs were originally designed for generating computer graphics based on polygonal networks, and in fact these processors are also well suited for running neural networks and matrix multiplication calculations. But each GPU also c...
