That's the common way to approach the design of deep learning chips. Our approach differs slightly, and is more efficient, but there is the worry that people will just say "good enough" to other chips.
There seems to be a veritable flood of various kinds of deep learning chip papers and startups at the moment. Seems the common theme is some kind of processor-in-memory (PIM) style architecture in order to reduce the energy cost of memory access, coupled with massive amounts of low-precision arithmetic units, since neural nets seem to be able to get by without the traditional FP64.
I am completely wrong in the above assessment? And what are you doing differently than all the other players? In any case, good luck!
