      Noemi
      - Generic updates

      Speakers: Georgios Flengas (CERN), Nicolo Ghielmetti (CERN), Noemi D'Abbondanza (Sapienza Universita e INFN, Roma I (IT)), Sioni Paris Summers (CERN), Tanawin Devaveja
      • Tanawin
        • DFX4ML with skip connections
          • hls4ml multigraph with skip connections not supported, and VitisAccelerator doesn't support multiple I/O
            • These contributions might be a PR to hls4ml, since they are quite general
            • Both handled by Tanawin, for the DFX4ML solution
          • Magic Streamer RTL block provided by Tanawin, handles load/store of axi-streams in the "cache" (which is actually the Magic Streamer itself
        • Feedbacks from hls4ml roundtable
          • Lots of interests, Chang asked about the latency of PR and he said that it dominates the computation: Tanawin said it depends on the batch size

       

      • George
        • CGRA4ML
          • Utilize both CPU and FPGA in the SoC
            • Heavy tasks are on FPGAs
            • Easier tasks are on CPUs
          • Generates SystemVerilog RTL
            • Easier to port to NanoXplore and AMD wrt HLS
          • CI/CD integration available
          • Support both Bare-Metal and PetaLinux
          • Support Keras and QKeras
            • Not sure if QONNX is supported, George will check it
          • After George will take a deep look into the GitHub repo, it will be good to have a meeting with Ryan Kastner
          • Ask about MADOS models to AGS tomorrow, if they are ready to be ingested from our side and more details about input/output channels

       

      • Nicolò
        • NanoXplore tools are installed, issue with license and Qt plugin
