Flex Logix's Cheng Wang Speaking at Linley Fall Processor Conference on Accelerating Neural Inferencing Performance Using Low DRAM Bandwidth

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Flex Logix® Technologies, Inc. today announced that its co-founder and Senior VP of Engineering Cheng Wang will be speaking about neural inferencing at next week's Linley Fall Processor Conference at the Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara, CA.  The presentation is titled "A High-Performance Reconfigurable Neural Accelerator with Low DRAM Bandwidth," and will be part of the Session 1 Tract titled "AI SoC Design."

Date of Panel: Wednesday, October 31, 2018

Time: 10:10 am - 12:15 pm

About Cheng's presentation:  This presentation will introduce NMAX™, a reconfigurable, scalable, high-performance neural-network accelerator with low DRAM bandwidth. NMAX utilizes eFPGA for fast control-logic reconfiguration for each stage, as well as a novel, high-bandwidth memory architecture, including use of XFLX interconnect, that keeps the MAC arrays highly utilized. For edge computing, NMAX is competitive on performance, power, and die area while using much less DRAM bandwidth than conventional solutions.

About the AI SoC Design Tract Session 1:  AI processors employ complex heterogeneous architectures with high data parallelism. To meet performance and power requirements, designers must distribute the workload to the most efficient processor core, optimize the data flow between those cores, and ensure that the interface to external memory meets the high-bandwidth demands of deep neural-networks. This session, moderated by The Linley Group senior analyst Mike Demler, will discuss how using heterogeneous architectures, low-latency DNN accelerators, and AI-optimized interconnect can improve AI processor performance.
