Abstract
The trend of pushing inference from cloud to edge due to concerns of latency, bandwidth, and privacy has created demand for energy-efficient neural network hardware. This paper presents a mixed-signal binary convolutional neural network (CNN) processor for always-on inference applications that achieves 3.8 µJ/classification at 86% accuracy on the CIFAR-10 image classification data set. The goal of this paper is to establish the minimum-energy point for the representative CIFAR-10 inference task, us
