Unlike most available sources that focus on deep neural network (DNN) inference, this book provides readers with a single-source reference on the needs, requirements, and challenges involved with on-device, DNN training semiconductor and SoC design. The authors include coverage of the trends and history surrounding the development of on-device DNN training, as well as on-device training semiconductors and SoC design examples to facilitate understanding.

This book discusses the acceleration of deep reinforcement learning (DRL), which may be the next step in the burst success of artificial intelligence (AI). The authors address acceleration systems which enable DRL on area-limited & battery-limited mobile devices. Methods are described that enable DRL optimization at the algorithm-, architecture-, and circuit-levels of abstraction.
