Neural network accelerators for Lattice FPGAs

Lattice has introduced two hardware artificial intelligence algorithm accelerators for its FPGAs, one for binarised neural networks (BNNs) and one for convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Both are aimed at implement neural networks in consumer and industrial network-edge products. They are not suitable for network training, which must be done elsewhere. ‘Binarized neural network (BNN) accelerator’ supports ...

Researchers fabricate nano-house

Researchers from the Femto-ST Institute in Besancon, France have fabricated the world’s smallest house using nano-robots. “For the first time we were able to realize patterning and assembly with less than two nanometers of accuracy, which is a very important result for the robotics and optical community,” says researcher Jean-Yves Rauch. The researchers combined all ...
