Following technology advances in high performance computation systems and fast growth of data acquisition, machine learning, especially deep learning, made remarkable success in many research areas and applications. Such a success, to a great extent, is enabled by developing large-scale deep neural networks (DNN) that learn from a huge volume of data. The deployment of such a big model, however, is both computation-intensive and memory-intensive. Though the research on hardware acceleration for neural network has been extensively studied, the progress of hardware development still falls far behind the upscaling of DNN models at soft-ware level. We envision that hardware/software co-design for performance acceleration of deep neural networks is necessary. In this work, I will start with the trends of machine learning study in academia and industry, followed by our study on how to run sparse and low-precision neural networks, as well as the investigation on memristor-based computing engine.
