Deploying a neural network on an embedded solution requires more than compiling a trained model. Join us to discuss the IP and tooling available from Cadence that allow architects to start with a neural network model, run through quantization and partitioning mapping to a configurable embedded target, simulating the design to get performance data (both cycle and energy), and iterating through design optimizations to reach an optimal implementation. Our experts will give a technical walkthrough of the tools, features, supported frameworks, and infrastructure available to both software and silicon designers.
Hardware Engineer workshop are restricted to hardware engineers and architects, and software designers from companies interested in learning how to design and deploy ML onto hardware platforms.
Workshops are application only and subject to eligibility and availability. The workshops are free, and lunch, shared networking sessions, and access to the Meet and Greet function and keynote is included in the developer pass. If you're a hardware or software engineer, please apply using the form in the registration section of the website or by emailing en@kisacoresearch.com. There are approximately 30 spaces available.
