Dataflow circuits have been studied for decades as a way to implement both asynchronous and synchronous designs, and, more recently, have attracted attention as the target of high-level synthesis (HLS) compilers. Yet, little is known about mechanisms to sy ...
PGAs are highly versatile devices, but their backend compilation process is significantly time-consuming. DynaRapid has demonstrated the potential to drastically reduce compilation times to mere seconds by leveraging macro-component-based design hierarchie ...
Dynamically scheduled HLS, through dataflow circuit generation, has proven successful at exploiting operation-level parallelism in several important situations where statically scheduled HLS fails. Yet, although existing dataflow circuits support out-of-or ...
Customizable processors—which allowed their instruction set architecture (ISA) to be augmented with applicationspecific custom instruction set extensions (ISEs)—arrived on the market at the turn of the millenium. Commercial offerings included the Tensilica ...
Modern FPGAs integrate High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), offering up to 12× the DDR bandwidth distributed across multiple memory interfaces. To utilize the most of HBM's theoretical bandwidth, accelerators typically issue long bursts and exploit data locality. ...

Reconfigurable computing fabrics include FPGAs and CGRAs. FPGAs offer flexible bit-level reconfigurability and can map almost any program via high-level synthesis (HLS) compilers, but they incur high area and speed overheads compared to ASICs. CGRAs, in co ...
High-level synthesis (HLS) helps to develop hard-ware accelerators for field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) using C/C++ descriptions. HLS is tailored to exploit instruction-level parallelism and, where available, data-level parallelism in applications. Y ...
