Deep Learning is receiving much attention these days due to remarkable performance achieved in several fields (e.g. Computer Vision, Speech, Translations, etc), although this brings some challenges to hardware architects and computation optimization researchers. Deep Learning models are generally very large in memory and require many computation instructions to train and perform inferences. Accelerating these operations has obvious advantages, first by reducing the energy consumption (e.g. in data centers) and secondly, making these models usable on smaller devices at the edge of the Internet. This workshop on Emerging Deep Learning Accelerators (EDLA) is intended to bring together researchers from academia and industry to discuss requirements, opportunities, challenges and next steps in developing novel approaches for accelerating deep neural networks. The timing of this workshop is ideal, with European regulations tightening data privacy, thus forcing more computations/inferences to be performed at the Edge.
