Popis: This work presents a FloatSD8-based system on chip (SOC) for the inference as well as the training of a convolutional neural networks (CNNs). A novel number format (FloatSD8) is employed to reduce the computational complexity of the convolution circuit. By co-designing data representation and circuit, we demonstrate that the AISOC can achieve high convolution performance and optimal energy efficiency without sacrificing the quality of training. At its normal operating condition (200MHz), the AISOC prototype is capable of 0.69 TFLOPS peak performance and 1.625 TOPS/W in 28nm CMOS.
