Many Xilinx and Avnet colleagues helped me in improving this tutorial, the list is very long and I hope to not have forgotten anybody.
I would like to thank:
-
Giovanni Guasti, being him the first who checked and reviewed all the lines of code I have written and all the PDF and md documents. He has also created a very nice explanation of the whole flow plus a lot of other information in his personal Confluence page (available only in Xilinx here: http://confluence.xilinx.com/display/~gguasti/Learning+Map).
-
Andy Luo, he was the first to review the whole tutorial on the AWS and he is the sponsor of this project, so a very big thank to him, indeed!
-
Jonathan Cory helped me a lot with his suggestions during the development of this project, he was also my only reference in my moments of darkness.
-
Kester Aernoudt improved a lot all my shell scripts to make them independent on the directory structure (you can launch them from every place). I have also learned a lot of useful Linux tricks from him.
-
Rebecca O'Hagan and Erin Truax, my fantastic technical editors. Again Andy Luo and Jonathan Cory because they did the final review.
-
Mark Harvey and Giovanni Guasti for teaching me about Anaconda (Mark also reviewed my material)
-
Giovanni Guasti and Antonello Di Fresco for their critical review of the miniGoogleNet example.
-
The whole Xilinx Italian office of Milano (Giovanni Guasti, Antonello Di Fresco, Gianluca Gilardi, Alberto Fusaschi, Francesco Porpora, Francesco Contu, Paolo Novellini, Mark Harvey, Massimo Chirico, Franca Distaso, Marika Palubo, Daniela Grassi), as they were exposed live to the whole tutorial when it was still in a very embryonic form a lot of months ago and gave me so many precious suggestions.
-
Eddy De Waegeneer and Kester Aernoudt for the Docker work. Eddy pushed this idea first and Kester implemented effectively the Docker image. They also reviewed the whole tutorial.
-
Nick Ni, Kamran Khan, Ed Ducharme, Brian Wall, Mike Konopinsky, Yann Clin and Ralph Bergmann for their support.
-
Jim Heaton, John Bieker, Terry O'Neal gave me very useful suggestions.
-
Olivier Tremois, Jens Schmidt, Jens Stapelfeldt, Mark Van Der Bolt, Karsten Schwenk, Karsten Trott, Giulio Corradi, Martin Kellerman, Bob Tait, Jack Dunnigan, Mark Timmons, Jason Beil, Sophie Lemarie, James Robson, Adi Michaeli, Guy Osi, Shmulink Preil, Dror Sfarady, Guy Lampert, Yigal Shamaev, Gideon Kedem, David Hawk, Martin Nismo, Sergei Storojev for their feedbacks and their spreading this tutorial internally and externally to Xilinx.
-
Last but not least a very special thank you goes to the fantastic DeePhi Team in Beijing: Shuai Zhang, Bingqing Guo, Yi Shan, Lu Tian, Xiaoming Sun, Jingxiu Liu, Fan Jiang for their continuous help and support.
PS: If you think I have forgotten you, please tell me.
