From Pragmas to Partners: A Symbiotic Evolution of Agentic High-Level Synthesis
Niansong Zhang, Sunwoo Kim, Shreesha Srinath +1
The rise of large language models has sparked interest in AI-driven hardware design, raising the question: does high-level synthesis (HLS) still matter in the agentic era? We argue…
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…
Dato: A Task-Based Programming Model for Dataflow Accelerators
Shihan Fang, Hongzheng Chen, Niansong Zhang +4
Recent deep learning workloads increasingly push computational demand beyond what current memory systems can sustain, with many kernels stalling on data movement rather than comput…
Characterizing and Optimizing Realistic Workloads on a Commercial Compute-in-SRAM Device
Niansong Zhang, Wenbo Zhu, Courtney Golden +4
Compute-in-SRAM architectures offer a promising approach to achieving higher performance and energy efficiency across a range of data-intensive applications. However, prior evaluat…
