Abstract

Deep neural networks (DNN) achieved significant breakthrough in vision recognition in 2012 and quickly became the leading machine learning algorithm in Big Data based large scale object recognition applications. The successful deployment of DNN based applications pose challenges for a cross platform software framework that enable multiple user scenarios, including offline model training on HPC clusters and online recognition in embedded environments. Existing DNN frameworks are mostly focused on a closed format CUDA implementations, which is limiting of deploy breadth of DNN hardware systems.
