DPUV3INT8: A Compiler View to programmable FPGA Inference Engines

8 Oct 2021  ·  Paolo D'Alberto, Jiangsha Ma, Jintao Li, Yiming Hu, Manasa Bollavaram, Shaoxia Fang ·

We have a FPGA design, we make it fast, efficient, and tested for a few important examples. Now we must infer a general solution to deploy in the data center. Here, we describe the FPGA DPUV3INT8 design and our compiler effort. The hand-tuned SW-HW solution for Resnet50\_v1 has (close to) 2 times better images per second (throughput) than our best FPGA implementation; the compiler generalizes the hand written techniques achieving about 1.5 times better performance for the same example, the compiler generalizes the optimizations to a model zoo of networks, and it achieves 80+\% HW efficiency.
