An MLIR Lowering Pipeline for Stencils at Wafer-Scale
Nicolai Stawinoga, David Katz, Anton Lydike +4
The Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE) delivers performance at an unprecedented scale of over 900,000 compute units, all connected via a single-wafer on-chip interconnect. Initially…
The Configuration Wall: Characterization and Elimination of Accelerator Configuration Overhead
Josse Van Delm, Anton Lydike, Joren Dumoulin +6
Contemporary compute platforms increasingly offload compute kernels from CPU to integrated hardware accelerators to reach maximum performance per Watt. Unfortunately, the time the…
A shared compilation stack for distributed-memory parallelism in stencil DSLs
George Bisbas, Anton Lydike, Emilien Bauer +8
Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) increase programmer productivity and provide high performance. Their targeted abstractions allow scientists to express problems at a high level, pr…
A Multi-level Compiler Backend for Accelerated Micro-kernels Targeting RISC-V ISA Extensions
Alexandre Lopoukhine, Federico Ficarelli, Christos Vasiladiotis +6
High-performance micro-kernels must fully exploit today's diverse and specialized hardware to deliver peak performance to DNNs. While higher-level optimizations for DNNs are offere…
