Definitions

A specialized hardware circuit designed to accelerate machine learning applications.

Examples

“In addition, the large weight size inevitably causes latency, power, and energy overhead when transferring the weight data between the storage/memory and the processing units, such as central processing units (CPUs), graphic processing units (GPUs), neural processing units (NPUs), or accelerators, which are not desirable for resource-constrained edge devices.”
