  • Second Ph.D. Paper Published by ACM TACO

    Second Ph.D. Paper Published by ACM TACO

    Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are one of the most successful machine learning techniques for image, voice and video processing. CNNs require large amounts of processing capacity and memory bandwidth. Hardware accelerators have been proposed for CNNs which typically contain large numbers of multiply-accumulate (MAC) units, the multipliers of which are large in an integrated circuit…

  • Passed My PhD Confirmation Viva

    I undertook my Ph.D. Confirmation viva voce today (6th Feb 2018). This entailed a presentation and a report to two professors, Dr. Jonathan Dukes (presentation chair) and Dr. Michael Manzke (domain expert) of Trinity College Dublin who questioned me during and after the presentation. After a short discussion with my supervisor Dr. David Gregg, they…
