FLoPAD-GRU: A Flexible, Low Power, Accelerated DSP for Gated Recurrent Unit Neural Network

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are efficient for classification of sequential data such as speech and audio due to their high precision on tasks. However, power efficiency, the required memory capacity and bandwidth requirements make them less suitable for battery powered devices. In this work, we introduce FLoPAD-GRU: a system on a chip (SoC) for efficient processing of gated recurrent unit (GR...
