Cocco: Hardware-Mapping Co-Exploration towards Memory Capacity-Communication Optimization

“…However, choosing an appropriate memory specification is always a challenge. In Figure 2, we surveyed 16 popular industrial neural network processors with various memory/performance/area characteristics, where nine of them target the training domain [6,11,24,34,35,40,41,48,60,63,69] and seven target model inference [1, 7, 8, 26-28, 49, 65]. According to the survey, we can observe several trends as follows:…”
