Explored and/or implemented:

• FIFO Depth optimisation for Vitis HLS => performance improved over non-FIFO optimised Vitis HLS code
• Layer latency matching => performance improved over FIFO optimised only solution (WIP?)
• SepConv resource strategy => performance of SepConv latency strategy improved by implementing SepConv resource strategy
• Vitis accelerator backend => performance of AXI master solution can improve by using AXI stream (is it implemented/used or WIP?)
• QONNX ingestion => all the quantisation is handled and propagated even for accumulators (WIP but works)

Next possible paths:

• DSP packing
• Pruning => we can see what Vladimir's group has ready next Wed at their NGT meeting (he invited us)
• KD applied to layers or set of layers and substitute them with SR (Maurizio)
• Splitting IP => for sure can improve the time to get the synthesis done, maybe useful for the layer latency matching
• Others?
