Lightning Talk: Using Embedded FPGAs for Custom Vector Extensions - Dirk Koch

Lightning Talk: Using Embedded FPGAs for Custom Vector Extensions - Dirk Koch, The University of Manchester The FABulous open-source framework for building embedded FPGA had been used in different projects to integrate reconfigurable custom instructions directly into the CPU core of a RISC-V core (e.g., in the FlexBex). This talk will show how the reconfigurability of an eFPGA can be used for vector processing in ML applications. This includes custom data types, like short integers, non-linear arithmetic and working with compressed data formats.
