MONET: Modeling and Optimization of neural NEtwork Training from Edge to Data Centers
Jérémy Morlier, Robin Geens, Stef Cuyckens +4
While hardware-software co-design has significantly improved the efficiency of neural network inference, modeling the training phase remains a critical yet underexplored challenge.…
Hardware-Algorithm Co-Optimization of Early-Exit Neural Networks for Multi-Core Edge Accelerators
Alaa Zniber, Arne Symons, Ouassim Karrakchou +2
The deployment of Early-Exiting Neural Networks (EENNs) on edge accelerators requires optimizing not only the network architecture but also its hardware deployment. Exit configurat…
Fine-Grained Fusion: The Missing Piece in Area-Efficient State Space Model Acceleration
Robin Geens, Arne Symons, Marian Verhelst
State Space Models (SSMs) offer a promising alternative to transformers for long-sequence processing. However, their efficiency remains hindered by memory-bound operations, particu…
Anda: Unlocking Efficient LLM Inference with a Variable-Length Grouped Activation Data Format
Chao Fang, Man Shi, Robin Geens +3
The widely-used, weight-only quantized large language models (LLMs), which leverage low-bit integer (INT) weights and retain floating-point (FP) activations, reduce storage require…
MATCH: Model-Aware TVM-based Compilation for Heterogeneous Edge Devices
Mohamed Amine Hamdi, Francesco Daghero, Giuseppe Maria Sarda +6
Streamlining the deployment of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) on heterogeneous edge platforms, coupling within the same micro-controller unit (MCU) instruction processors and hardware…
Optimizing Layer-Fused Scheduling of Transformer Networks on Multi-accelerator Platforms
Steven Colleman, Arne Symons, Victor J. B. Jung +1
The impact of transformer networks is booming, yet, they come with significant computational complexity. It is therefore essential to understand how to optimally map and execute th…
SALSA: Simulated Annealing based Loop-Ordering Scheduler for DNN Accelerators
Victor J. B. Jung, Arne Symons, Linyan Mei +2
To meet the growing need for computational power for DNNs, multiple specialized hardware architectures have been proposed. Each DNN layer should be mapped onto the hardware with th…
Stream: Design Space Exploration of Layer-Fused DNNs on Heterogeneous Dataflow Accelerators
Arne Symons, Linyan Mei, Steven Colleman +3
As the landscape of deep neural networks evolves, heterogeneous dataflow accelerators, in the form of multi-core architectures or chiplet-based designs, promise more flexibility an…
DeFiNES: Enabling Fast Exploration of the Depth-first Scheduling Space for DNN Accelerators through Analytical Modeling
Linyan Mei, Koen Goetschalckx, Arne Symons +1
DNN workloads can be scheduled onto DNN accelerators in many different ways: from layer-by-layer scheduling to cross-layer depth-first scheduling (a.k.a. layer fusion, or cascaded…
