HDTorch: an accelerator for HyperDimensional Computing
HyperDimensional computing is increasingly used for machine learning applications. Computing with HD vectors, referred to as “hypervectors,” offers a general and scalable model of computing as well as a well-defined set of arithmetic operations that can enable fast and one-shot learning (no need of back-propagation like in neural networks). HDTorch is a PyTorch-based hyperdimensional (HD) (…)
