Logic Synthesis Meets Machine Learning: Trading Exactness for Generalization
Shubham Rai, Walter Lau Neto, Yukio Miyasaka +37
Logic synthesis is a fundamental step in hardware design whose goal is to find structural representations of Boolean functions while minimizing delay and area. If the function is c…
Efficient Inference of CNNs via Channel Pruning
Boyu Zhang, Azadeh Davoodi, Yu Hen Hu
The deployment of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) on resource constrained platforms such as mobile devices and embedded systems has been greatly hindered by their high impleme…
Design Rule Violation Hotspot Prediction Based on Neural Network Ensembles
Wei Zeng, Azadeh Davoodi, Yu Hen Hu
Design rule check is a critical step in the physical design of integrated circuits to ensure manufacturability. However, it can be done only after a time-consuming detailed routing…
A Mixture of Expert Approach for Low-Cost Customization of Deep Neural Networks
Boyu Zhang, Azadeh Davoodi, Yu-Hen Hu
The ability to customize a trained Deep Neural Network (DNN) locally using user-specific data may greatly enhance user experiences, reduce development costs, and protect user's pri…
