Description The TensorFlow Lite (TFLite) framework for Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) at the edge and for IoT supports a certain number of microcontrollers, including the well-known STMicroelectronics STM32. For complex deep neural network workloads, a microcontroller needs to be helped by dedicated hardware accelerators. In this thesis, the student will use a board developed at Politecnico di Torino containing an STM32 microcontroller and a low-power FPGA to accelerate with the FPGA some TFLite kernel functions (like, Convolution, Dense, Depthwise) for which the software latency would be otherwise too large.
