Programming AMD XDNA NPUs with Open-source Compiler Tools: A FlashAttention Case Study

Erwei Wang, Ephrem Wu, Victor J. B. Jung +4

Spatial NPUs such as AMD XDNA place compute tiles beside small local memories and leave data movement between them to software. Mapping a multi-stage workload onto such a device is…

From Human Guidance to Autonomy: Agent Skill System for End-to-End LLM Deployment on Spatial NPUs

Jiajie Li, Erwei Wang, Zhiru Zhang +1

Spatial neural processing units (NPUs) provide an energy-efficient platform for edge LLM inference, but efficiently deploying an LLM end-to-end on such hardware remains labor-inten…

Practical Formal Verification for MLIR Programs

Emily Tucker, Louis-Noël Pouchet, Erika Hunhoff +2

Optimizing compilers have become a cornerstone for high-performance program generation in research and industry. Optimizations, including those implemented manually by a user and t…

KernelCraft: Benchmarking for Agentic Close-to-Metal Kernel Generation on Emerging Hardware

Jiayi Nie, Haoran Wu, Yao Lai +9

New AI accelerators with novel instruction set architectures (ISAs) often require developers to manually craft low-level kernels, a time-consuming and error-prone process that does…

From Loop Nests to Silicon: Mapping AI Workloads onto AMD NPUs with MLIR-AIR

Erwei Wang, Samuel Bayliss, Andra Bisca +19

General-purpose compilers abstract away parallelism, locality, and synchronization, limiting their effectiveness on modern spatial architectures. As modern computing architectures…

Logic Shrinkage: Learned FPGA Netlist Sparsity for Efficient Neural Network Inference

Erwei Wang, James J. Davis, Georgios-Ilias Stavrou +3

FPGA-specific DNN architectures using the native LUTs as independently trainable inference operators have been shown to achieve favorable area-accuracy and energy-accuracy tradeoff…
