AB - FPGA becomes a popular technology for imple-menting Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) in recent years.Most CNN applications on FPGA are domain-specific, e.g.,detecting objects from specific categories, in which commonly-used CNN models pre-trained on general datasets may not beefficient enough. This paper presents TuRF, an end-to-end CNNacceleration framework to efficiently deploy domain-specific ap-plications on FPGA by transfer learning that adapts pre-trainedmodels to specific domains, replacing standard convolution layerswith efficient convolution blocks, and applying layer fusion toenhance hardware design performance. We evaluate TuRF bydeploying a pre-trained VGG-16 model for a domain-specificimage recognition task onto a Stratix V FPGA. Results showthat designs generated by TuRF achieve better performance thanprior methods for the original VGG-16 and ResNet-50 models,while for the optimised VGG-16 model TuRF designs are moreaccurate and easier to process.
