To facilitate the development of distributed applications with FPGAs, in this paper we propose ACCL+, an open-source versatile FPGA-based collective communication library.

Evolutionary Bin Packing for Memory-Efficient Dataflow Inference Acceleration on FPGA

no code implementations • 24 Mar 2020 • Mairin Kroes, Lucian Petrica, Sorin Cotofana, Michaela Blott

We hybridize genetic algorithms and simulated annealing with traditional bin packing heuristics to create flexible mappers capable of grouping parameter memories such that each group optimally fits FPGA on-chip memories.
