This week, I worked with TJ to figure out the block diagram and specific details of the software side of the project.
Additionally, I setup a basic training routine with the CIFAR-10 Dataset using the PyTorch tutorial available online. I also wrote an outline for the Design Review Slides, and populated the Software and Benchmarking/Validation slides of said presentation.
Overall, I would say my progress is slightly behind. I was able to benchmark the dataset on my local CPU, but the benchmarking suite is not fully setup. In order to catch up, I will do more research and reading on setting up my local environment for benchmarking in order to get a better understanding of the concept.
By the end of this week, I plan on having the benchmarking suite fully setup and to have a better understanding of how to use the PyTorch library.
