RecLight: A Recurrent Neural Network Accelerator with Integrated Silicon Photonics
read the original abstract
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are used in applications that learn dependencies in data sequences, such as speech recognition, human activity recognition, and anomaly detection. In recent years, newer RNN variants, such as GRUs and LSTMs, have been used for implementing these applications. As many of these applications are employed in real-time scenarios, accelerating RNN/LSTM/GRU inference is crucial. In this paper, we propose a novel photonic hardware accelerator called RecLight for accelerating simple RNNs, GRUs, and LSTMs. Simulation results indicate that RecLight achieves 37x lower energy-per-bit and 10% better throughput compared to the state-of-the-art.
