Query: Towards Design Methodology of Efficient Fast Algorithms for Accelerating
  Generative Adversarial Networks on FPGAs   Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have shown excellent performance in
image and speech applications. GANs create impressive data primarily through a
new type of operator called deconvolution (DeConv) or transposed convolution
(Conv). To implement the DeConv layer in hardware, the state-of-the-art
accelerator reduces the high computational complexity via the DeConv-to-Conv
conversion and achieves the same results. However, there is a problem that the
number of filters increases due to this conversion. Recently, Winograd minimal
filtering has been recognized as an effective solution to improve the
arithmetic complexity and resource efficiency of the Conv layer. In this paper,
we propose an efficient Winograd DeConv accelerator that combines these two
orthogonal approaches on FPGAs. Firstly, we introduce a new class of fast
algorithm for DeConv layers using Winograd minimal filtering. Since there are
regular sparse patterns in Winograd filters, we further amortize the
computational complexity by skipping zero weights. Secondly, we propose a new
dataflow to prevent resource underutilization by reorganizing the filter layout
in the Winograd domain. Finally, we propose an efficient architecture for
implementing Winograd DeConv by designing the line buffer and exploring the
design space. Experimental results on various GANs show that our accelerator
achieves up to 1.78x~8.38x speedup over the state-of-the-art DeConv
accelerators.
