fpga4p 1.3

Python package / GNU Linux terminal utility for porting machine learning algorithms to FPGA.

MANUAL:

Training opportunities:

1) Training tasks executes in parallel processes.

2) Each training task generates: ".sv" file for FPGA, ".wd" file
and ".tar" archive with model data for prospective
classification task.


Training specialities:

1) "training_file.csv" must contain classes in the first column.

2) "training_file.csv" must not contain a column head.

3) The character - separator of "training_file.csv" must be ",".

4) You can check available training algorithms with option "--info".


Classification opportunities:

1) Classification tasks might be executed parallel on several FPGAs.

2) Several classification tasks, addressed to FPGA, execute consistently.

3) Each classification task generates ".csv" file with predicted answers.


Classification specialities:

1) "classification_file.csv" must not contain a column head.

2) The character - separator of "training_file.csv" must be ",".

3) The "word_dict.wd" might match to firmware of FPGA.

4) You can check available training algorithms and USB serial ports
with option "--info".

Examples:

1) This example starts the training task:

$ fpga4p --trn "training.csv,train_nbc"

2) This example starts the classification task:

$ fpga4p --cls "class.csv,classify_nbc,training.wd,/dev/ttyUSB0"

3) This example prints available modules for training and
classification, as well as available serial USB ports:


$ fpga4p --info
