At the same time, the computational complexity and resource consumption of these networks are also continuously increasing. This will pose a significant challenge to the deployment of such networks, especially for real-time applications or on resource-limited devices. Thus, network acceleration have become a hot topic within the deep learning community. As for hardware implementation of deep neural networks, a batch of accelerators based on FPGA/ASIC have been proposed these years. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey about the recent advances on network acceleration, compression and accelerator design from both algorithm and hardware side. Specifically, we provide thorough analysis for each of the following topics: network pruning, low-rank approximation, network quantization, teacher-student networks, compact network design and hardware accelerator. Finally, we make a discussion and introduce a few possible future directions.
