A FPGA Accelerator of Distributed A3C Algorithm with Optimal Resource Deployment by Fen Ge, Guohui Zhang, Ziyu Li, Fang Zhou

“…The asynchronous advantage actor-critic (A3C) algorithm is widely regarded as one of the most effective and powerful algorithms among various deep reinforcement learning algorithms. However, the distributed and asynchronous nature of the A3C algorithm brings increased algorithm complexity and computational requirements, which not only leads to an increased training cost but also amplifies the difficulty of deploying the algorithm on resource-limited field programmable gate array (FPGA) platforms. …”
