MSc thesis projects - Electronic systems and VLSI design

Here is a list of possible MSc thesis projects related to the theme Electronic systems and VLSI design. This is intended just to give an idea, actual projects are usually defined after discussion with the advisor.

CNN accelerator: Multipliers vs. shifters!

Different quantization techniques for CNNs (Convolutional Neural Networks) need to be analyzed, particularly logarithmic quantization, which allows replacement of multipliers by shifters. Then, profile the area and power consumption of a CNN accelerator using shifters in both FPGA and ASIC implementations.
