在Altera SoC DE1板卡上跑完整的卷积神经网络

这次为(🖐)大家(🔲)详细展示一个利用卷积神经网(🚘)络实现图片自(🍖)动分类的例程。

神经网络的优点：自动从数据(🤠)中学习经验知识，无需复杂的模型和算法。

缺点：有监督学习，需要大量的带标签数据；参(🔜)数量太少时容易过拟合，泛化能力差，参数量太大时训练收(🐶)敛很慢（有可能需要几个月到几年）。

为了克服上述缺点，人们发掘了各种计算资源，包括多核CPU、GPU、DSP、ASIC、FPGA，甚至使用模拟电路。

使用CPU实现卷积神经网络比较方便调试，但性能太差，一般人们都选用更快的GPU实现。目前开源的框架大多都支持GPU，如伯克利大学Caffe和Google Convnet。

微软在2015年2月宣布使用Stratix V完成了CNN加速器，处理 CIFAR10 图片速度可达每秒(🚡)2300多张。

这里我们也使用CIFAR10图片数据，在Cyclone V板子上跑一个卷积神经网络CNN demo。由于板子(🏄)上计算资源太少（DSP Slice只有80多个），实现完整的网络不太现实，只能在(👅)FPGA上实现基本计算单元，然后由HPS统一调度。性能预期不会太高，后面给出。

CIFAR10图片都是什么呢？先来张图！

有兴趣(🏊)的朋友可以到官网下(🗻)载（CIFAR10官网）。上面提到过，CNN是有监督学习系统，需要大量带label的数据，CIFAR10就是这样一个开放(💂)的数据库，提供了60000张不同类别的图片(🚾)，分为10个类（如上图(🚵)左侧所示(🤬)），每个类别有600张图。这个数据集不算特别大，适合在嵌入式平(🐠)台上(💏)实现。而更(👵)大的数据集有(📻)ImageNet-1000（ImageNet官网），拥有120多万张高清无码大图，我下载到硬盘，占用了近200GB空间（只能忍痛将其他rmvb和(🐺)avi删掉了）！

有朋友会问，不用这些数据行不(🔜)行，我们的智能手机里面(🕚)照片能不能用(🏀)于CNN做训练？

答案是可以的，只是你的数据集很不“均匀”，采样不够“完备(🔜)”，训练出的模型是真实模型的(🚦)“有偏(🍫)估计”，而上述两个数据集经过了种种考验，已经是学术界公认的优质数据集，一年一度的ILSVRC比赛就采用了这些数据集。

说完数据，再说模型。先来看(😬)一张经典的CNN结构：

这是世界上第一个将CNN实用化的例子，实现了手写体字(🔹)母自动识别。在这个CNN模型中，可以看到输入是一张32 x 32的(🦋)二维图像，经过卷积层(Convolution)、下采样层（Subsampling，也称Pooling)、全连接层（Full Connection，也称Inner Product)后，得(😊)到一组概(🐥)率密度，我(🌶)们(🎦)选其中概率最大的元素作为该模型对输入图像的分类结果。所以实现CNN时，只需要实(📏)现三(📅)种基本算法：卷积、下采样、矩阵乘。除此之(🏁)外，每层输出都可选择是否经过非线性变换(💇)，常用的非线性变(🅾)换有ReLU和Sigmoid，前者计算(👅)较为简单，使用较(⚽)为广泛。

Caffe框架中提供了专门为cifar10数据定(⛩)制的模型，是用proto格式写的，我们的demo也基于这个模型。内容如下：

name: "CIFAR10_quick_test"input: "data"input_dim: 1input_dim: 3input_dim: 32input_dim: 32layers {name: "conv1"type: CONVOLUTIONbottom: "data"top: "conv1"blobs_lr: 1blobs_lr: 2convolution_param {num_output: 32pad: 2kernel_size: 5stride: 1}}layers {name: "pool1"type: POOLINGbottom: "conv1"top: "pool1"pooling_param {pool: MAXkernel_size: 3stride: 2}}layers {name: "relu1"type: RELUbottom: "pool1"top: "pool1"}layers {name: "conv2"type: CONVOLUTIONbottom: "pool1"top: "conv2"blobs_lr: 1blobs_lr: 2convolution_param {num_output: 32pad: 2kernel_size: 5stride: 1}}layers {name: "relu2"type: RELUbottom: "conv2"top: "conv2"}layers {name: "pool2"type: POOLINGbottom: "conv2"top: "pool2"pooling_param {pool: AVEkernel_size: 3stride: 2}}layers {name: "conv3"type: CONVOLUTIONbottom: "pool2"top: "conv3"blobs_lr: 1blobs_lr: 2convolution_param {num_output: 64pad: 2kernel_size: 5stride: 1}}layers {name: "relu3"type: RELUbottom: "conv3"top: "conv3"}layers {name: "pool3"type: POOLINGbottom: "conv3"top: "pool3"pooling_param {pool: AVEkernel_size: 3stride: 2}}layers {name: "ip1"type: INNER_PRODUCTbottom: "pool3"top: "ip1"blobs_lr: 1blobs_lr: 2inner_product_param {num_output: 64}}layers {name: "ip2"type: INNER_PRODUCTbottom: "ip1"top: "ip2"blobs_lr: 1blobs_lr: 2inner_product_param {num_output: 10}}layers {name: "prob"type: SOFTMAXbottom: "ip2"top: "prob"}

复制代码

可见，上述模型经过了3个卷积层（conv1, conv2, conv3），每个卷积层后面都跟着下采样层（pool1, pool2, pool3），之后有两个全连接层(ip1, ip2)，最后一层prob为SOFTMAX分类层，是计算概率密度的，这里我们不需(🤼)要(👦)关心。

下面三张图分别统计了CNN模型(📡)各层的参数量、数据量和计算(🧟)量。

可以看出，卷积层的(💯)参数量很少，但数据量很大；全连接层刚好相反，参数量较大，但数据量很少。

通过计算量统计发现conv2计(🖼)算量最大，其次是conv3和conv1。全连接层的计算量相对卷积层较小(🌃)，但不(💪)可忽略。其他(🌯)层（pool1, pool2以及各级relu）由于计(🚾)算量太小，本设计中没(🎾)有将其实现(🐍)为Open CL kernel，而是直接CPU端实现。

综上所述，我们重点实现两个算法：卷积和矩阵乘，分别对应卷积层、全连接层的实现。

在DE1-SOC上我利用了友晶提供的Open CL BSP，支持C语言开发FPGA。

卷积层计算kernel函数如下：

__attribute__((num_compute_units(4)))__kernelvoid conv(__global float * a, __global float * b, __global float * c, const int M, const int N, const int K){int gx = get_global_id(0);int gy = get_global_id(1);float tmp=0.0f;for(int x = 0; x < K; x ++){for(int y = 0; y < K; y ++){tmp += a[(gx + x) * M + (gy + y)] * b[x * K + y];}}

复制代码

全连接层计算采用矩阵乘实现，kernel函数如下：

__attribute__((num_compute_units(4)))__kernelvoid gemm(__global float * a, __global float * b, __global float * c, const int M, const int N, const int K){int gx = get_global_id(0);int gy = get_global_id(1);int sy = get_global_size(1);int sx = get_global_size(0);int s = sx * sy;for(int x = gx; x < M; x += sx){for(int y = gy; y < N; y += sy){float tmp=0.0f;for(int z = 0; z < K; z++){tmp += a[z * M + x] * b[y * K + z];}c[y * M + x] = tmp;}}}

复制代码

编译kernel函数需(🎷)要使用Altera SDK for OpenCL，我用的版本是14.0.0.200，申请了两个(🗓)月的license。编译使用命令行aoc，得到*.aocx文件。

Open CL编译输出报告中给出了资源占用情况：

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+; Estimated Resource Usage Summary ;+----------------------------------------+---------------------------+; Resource + Usage ;+----------------------------------------+---------------------------+; Logic utilization ; 83% ;; Dedicated logic registers ; 46% ;; Memory blocks ; 57% ;; DSP blocks ; 25% ;+----------------------------------------+---------------------------;

复制代码

可见，逻(🏏)辑资(🌊)源、存储器资源消耗较为明显，而DSP资源并未用尽，说明还有优化的空间。

编译主程序需要使用SoCEDS，我用的版本为14.0.2.274，也是命令行方式，在工程目录下执行make，结束后得到可执行文件cnn。

将这两(👓)个文件拷贝到SD卡，按照前面的博客对板子进行设置，将CNN的模型、CIFAR10数据也拷贝到SD卡中，板(🍢)子上电，mount SD卡到/mnt，执行cnn，得到输出如(⏸)下：

上面的执行流程是这样的，首先输入(🤮)测试样本数目（1到100），由于DE1板子FPGA端SDRAM容量较小，难以加载全部测试数据（10000张图片），故每次最(💆)多装入100张图片。之后载入数据到HPS内存，然后开始构建CNN模型(📞)，构建过程中也实现了Open CL的初始(🔢)化(💟)。构建完毕(🔃)，将输入图像依次通过CNN，得到(🍶)一系列分类(👠)结果，与标签进行(🥓)对比，统计错误分类个数(🕤)，计算分类准确率。

经过测试，分类准确率达到83%，与Caffe测试结果一致。

经过以上测试，可以得到结论：

（1）使(🍱)用Open CL可以很方便地移(👷)植高级语(🎈)言编(🧟)写的算法；

（2）CNN在移植过程中需要考虑实际硬件(🍟)，定制合适的模型和数据；(🥨)

（3）Cyclone 5逻辑资源较少（85K，Open CL kernel占用了83%），如果希(⏮)望进一步提高计算速度，一方面可以选用高性(🈯)能器件（如Stratix V、Arria 10），另一方面可以使用RTL自己(👫)搭建计算系统。
