Researchers have developed PoTAcc, an open-source pipeline designed to accelerate the deployment of power-of-two (PoT) quantized deep neural networks (DNNs) on resource-constrained edge devices. This system facilitates the preparation and deployment of these models through TensorFlow Lite, supporting both CPU-only configurations and hybrid CPU-FPGA systems with custom accelerators. Evaluations demonstrated that a CPU-accelerator design using PoTAcc achieved up to a 3.6x speedup and a 78% reduction in energy consumption compared to CPU-only execution on specific FPGA boards. AI
