Accelerating deep learning with high energy efficiency: From microchip to physical systems

Diagram of deep learning realizations
In the era of digits and internet, massive data have been continuously generated from a variety of sources, including video, photo, audio, text, internet of things, etc. It is intuitive that more accurate patterns can be obtained by feeding more data for effective analysis; despite the data redundancy, a clearer picture can be delineated for better decision-making. However, traditional methods, even in machine learning, do not benefit from the expanding amount of data, whose performance nearly saturates when the data collection is large enough.
