| Abstract | Large-scale convolutional neural network (CNN), well-known to be computationally intensive, is a fundamental algorithmic building block in many computer vision and artificial intelligence applications that follow the deep learning principle. This work presents a novel stochastic-based and scalable hardware architecture and circuit design that computes a convolutional neural network with FPGA. The key idea is to implement a multi-dimensional convolution accelerator that leverages the widely-used convolution theorem. Our approach has three advantages. First, it can achieve significantly lower algorithmic complexity for any given accuracy requirement. This computing complexity, when compared with that of conventional multiplierbased and FFT-based architectures, represents a significant performance improvement. Second, this proposed stochastic-based architecture is highly fault-tolerant because the information to be processed is encoded with a large ensemble of random samples. As such, the local perturbations of its computing accuracy will be dissipated globally, thus becoming inconsequential to the final overall results. Overall, being highly scalable and energy efficient, our stochastic-based convolutional neural network architecture is well-suited for a modular vision engine with the goal of performing real-time detection, recognition and segmentation of mega-pixel images, especially those perception-based computing tasks that are inherently fault-tolerant. We also present a performance comparison between FPGA implementations that use deterministic-based and Stochastic-based architectures. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
