Hardware Implementation of a Softmax-Like Function for Deep Learning

In this paper a simplified hardware implementation of a CNN softmax-like layer is proposed. Initially the softmax activation function is analyzed in terms of required numerical accuracy and certain optimizations are proposed. A proposed adaptable hardware architecture is evaluated in terms of the in...
