A Hybrid GPU-FPGA-based Computing Platform for Machine Learning
Open accessAbstract
We present a hybrid GPU-FPGA based computing platform to tackle the high-density computing problem of machine learning. In our platform, the training part of a machine learning application is implemented on GPU and the inferencing part is implemented on FPGA. It should also include a model transplantation part which can transplant the model from the training part to the inferencing part. For evaluating this design methodology, we selected the LeNet-5 as our benchmark algorithm. During the training phase, GPU TitanXp’s speed was about 8.8x faster than CPU E-1620 and in the inferencing phase, FPGA Arria-10’s inferencing speed was fastest, 44.4x faster than CPU E-1620 and 6341x faster than GPU TitanXp. Moreover, by adopting our design methodology, we improved our LeNet-5 machine learning model’s accuracy from 99.05% to 99.13%, and successfully preserved the accuracy (99.13%) when transplanting the model from the GPU platform to the FPGA platform.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
