Hardware acceleration of artificial X-ray image generation

X-ray imaging systems play an important role in the diagnostic process of various medical conditions. Generating an accurate artificial X-ray image has multiple advantages. It allows for flexible configurations during generation. The resulting images can reduce testing time and cost, help the training of surgeons, and increase the amount of data...

Integration of a convolutional neural network for speech-to-text recognition in an FPGA compiler flow

Deep Neural Network (DNNs) have increased significantly in size over the past decade. Partly due to this, the accuracy of DNNs in image classification and speech recognition tasks has increased as well. This enables a great potential for such models to be applied in real-world applications. However, due to their size, the compute and power...

Dataflow Hardware Design for Big Data Acceleration Using Typed Interfaces

Recent trends in large-scale computing demonstrate continuous growth in the need for raw processing performance. At the same time, the slowdown of vertical scaling pushes the industry towards more energy-efficient heterogeneous architectures. With the appearance of FPGAs in the cloud and data centers, a new architecture is offered for offloading...
