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：(🥥)

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。
