LocalTrain: Integer-Only Local Learning for Energy-Efficient CNN Training on Edge FPGAs
Local learning reduces cross-layer training dependencies, but an efficient accelerator must still retain operands, accumulate gradients, and select quantization scales. We present an FPGA system that trains a CNN and its regional auxiliary classifiers using a shared integer matrix engine. Compact errors are expanded on...
