Features for initial release

[alan4186]

Convolutional Layer

• Variable square kernel sizes for convolution
• Variable network depth: network should be able to have an number of layers
• Verify convolution operations with test benches
• Hard coded network parameters

Rectified Linear Activation Function

• Implement shared resources in lower convolution layers to keep pipeline moving
• Verify relu layer with test benches.

Build Tools

• Write class to describe network
• Include helper functions in class that will export network to verilog
• Write demo script to build simple CNN

Resource sharing will probably not be implemented anytime soon. Resource sharing means multipliers will not have a constant input and will need to be implemented with multiplier circuits rather than logic elements.
