稀疏卷积计算高效数据加载与输出缓存策略

针对现有神经网络加速器在处理稀疏神经网络时存在的数据加载效率低、乘加资源利用率低、输出缓存寻址逻辑复杂等问题,提出了稀疏卷积计算高效数据加载与输出缓存策略。将属于同一输入通道的非零输入特征图像数据和非零权重进行全对全乘累加运算,降低了非零数据配对难度,提高了乘加资源利用率;通过采用输入驻留计算,以及密集型循环加载特征图像数据,大幅减少了数据片外调取次数;优化了输出缓存设计,解决了现有方案中存在的输出缓存地址访问争用、存储拥塞等问题。实验表明,与采用类似架构的细粒度脉动加速器相比,在处理单元面积上减少了21.45%;在数据加载速度方面平均提高了117.71%在平均乘法器利用率方面提高了11.25%,达到89%。     

Optimization of reluctance accelerator efficiency by an improved discharging circuit

In this paper, an improved discharging circuit was proposed to quicken the decay of the current in the drive coil in a reluctance accelerator when the armature reaches the center of the coil. The aim of this is to prevent the suck-back effect caused by the residual current in drive coil. The method is adding a reverse charging branch with a small capacitor in the traditional pulsed discharging circuit. The results under the traditional circuit and the improved circuit were compared in a simulation. The experiment then verified the simulations and they had good agreement. Simulation and experiment both demonstrated the improved circuit can effectively prevent the suck-back effect and increase the efficiency. At the voltage of 800 V, an efficiency increase of 36.34% was obtained.     

机器人操作空间加速度信号应用研究

机器人力控制存在着动力学不稳定性问题，即系统响应速度和稳定性之间的矛盾。在操作空间一级引人加速度正反馈，既能使系统的响应频带变宽，又能提高系统阻尼。这种方法能有效地提高机器人对高刚度环境的适应性，使力控制的动力学不稳定性问题得到明显地缓和；另外本文研究了用加速度积分信号代替位置差分速度信号来消除差分噪声，提高力控制精度方法的应用前景。
