Maestro: A 302 GFLOPS/W and 19.8GFLOPS RISC-V Vector-Tensor Architecture for Wearable Ultrasound Edge Computing
Mattia Sinigaglia, Amirhossein Kiamarzi, Marco Bertuletti +11
Most Wearable Ultrasound (WUS) devices lack the computational power to process signals at the edge, instead relying on remote offload, which introduces latency, high power consumpt…
EPAC: The Last Dance
Filippo Mantovani, Fabio Banchelli, Pablo Vizcaino +36
This paper presents EPAC, a RISC-V-based accelerator chip developed within the European Processor Initiative (EPI) as part of a multi-year, multi-partner effort to build a European…
MiniFloat-NN and ExSdotp: An ISA Extension and a Modular Open Hardware Unit for Low-Precision Training on RISC-V cores
Luca Bertaccini, Gianna Paulin, Tim Fischer +2
Low-precision formats have recently driven major breakthroughs in neural network (NN) training and inference by reducing the memory footprint of the NN models and improving the ene…
Occamy: A 432-Core 28.1 DP-GFLOP/s/W 83% FPU Utilization Dual-Chiplet, Dual-HBM2E RISC-V-based Accelerator for Stencil and Sparse Linear Algebra Computations with 8-to-64-bit Floating-Point Support in 12nm FinFET
Gianna Paulin, Paul Scheffler, Thomas Benz +11
We present Occamy, a 432-core RISC-V dual-chiplet 2.5D system for efficient sparse linear algebra and stencil computations on FP64 and narrow (32-, 16-, 8-bit) SIMD FP data. Occamy…
Optimizing Foundation Model Inference on a Many-tiny-core Open-source RISC-V Platform
Viviane Potocnik, Luca Colagrande, Tim Fischer +4
Transformer-based foundation models have become crucial for various domains, most notably natural language processing (NLP) or computer vision (CV). These models are predominantly…
Soft Tiles: Capturing Physical Implementation Flexibility for Tightly-Coupled Parallel Processing Clusters
Gianna Paulin, Matheus Cavalcante, Paul Scheffler +4
Modern high-performance computing architectures (Multicore, GPU, Manycore) are based on tightly-coupled clusters of processing elements, physically implemented as rectangular tiles…
