Summary

The Arm Ethos-U processor series training courses are designed to help embedded engineers working on new or existing Arm Ethos-U designs. Whether you’re working on design, verification or validation, for an Arm Ethos-U system, the course can be configured according to your team’s needs. 

Courses include fundamental topics to enable a solid platform of understanding. The rest of the course then builds on from this with optional topics and can be tailored appropriately. Some key topics are delivered via pre course on-demand video.

A pre course call with the engineer delivering the training will help you discuss your team’s individual training requirements.

At the end of this course, delegates will be able to

  • Describe the Ethos Neural Processor Unit (NPU) main functions and supported API
  • Explain the Ethos NPU data flow and block architecture
  • Describe the physical model integration and the NPU interface signals
  • Configure and integrate the Ethos NPU into their SoC
  • Run the supplied test cases
  • Describe Arm Machine Leaning SW architecture
  • Understand Ethos NPU (Neural Processor Unit) driver stack
  • Build and test Ethos NPU driver
  • Setup FPGA and run Arm NPU demo
  • Build a Compute Library.
  • Understand the structure of Compute Library.
  • Gain knowledge about how to optimize and implement algorithm using OpenCL.
  • Implement the Winograd algorithm
