This is leading an increasing number of players to opt for custom or semi-custom or custom convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures over off-the-shelf silicon.<\/p><p>HLS has already been used across a number of AI designs (the first of our two-part series on the topic&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.techdesignforums.com\/practice\/technique\/computer-vision-high-level-synthesis-for-ai-part-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">can be found here<\/a>).
