Abstract :
In this paper we show how to map a LSSVM on digital hardware. In particular, we provide a theoretical analysis of quantization effects, due to finite register lengths, that leads to some useful bounds for computing the necessary number of bits for a correct hardware implementation. Then, we describe a new FPGA-based architecture, the KTRON, which implements the feed-forward phase of a LSSVM.
