High-Speed CNN Accelerator SoC Design Based on a Flexible Diagonal Cyclic Array
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe paper is well structured and the main contribution is scientific described. The paper needs only English editor for formal phrases.
However, in Fig. 14 the Authors describe very litle the implementation on 14um technology of the SoC. There is no further explainations that sustain such need for a ASIC implementation.
