An MLIR-based Compilation Framework for CGRA Application Deployment

David Atienza Alonso, Giovanni Ansaloni, Lara Orlandic, Juan Pablo Sapriza Araujo, Rubén Rodríguez Álvarez

Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Arrays (CGRAs) are a programmable architectural solution that efficiently supports the execution of computation-intensive application functions (kernels). Compilers for CGRAs typically focus on optimizing the mapping of single ...

SAT-based Exact Modulo Scheduling Mapping for Resource-Constrained CGRAs

Ruben Rodriguez, David Atienza Alonso, Benoît Walter Denkinger, Giovanni Ansaloni, José Angel Miranda Calero, Juan Pablo Sapriza Araujo, Rubén Rodríguez Álvarez

Coarse-Grain Reconfigurable Arrays (CGRAs) represent emerging low-power architectures designed to accelerate Compute-Intensive Loops (CILs). The effectiveness of CGRAs in providing acceleration relies on the quality of mapping: how efficiently the CIL is c ...

An Open-Hardware Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Array for Edge Computing

Ruben Rodriguez, David Atienza Alonso, Benoît Walter Denkinger, Giovanni Ansaloni, José Angel Miranda Calero, Juan Pablo Sapriza Araujo, Rubén Rodríguez Álvarez

In this work, we propose an open-hardware low-power coarse-grained reconfigurable array connected to a lightweight microcontroller and enclosed in an application mapping framework. The latter provides complete support to configure kernels in the reconfigur ...

X-HEEP: An Open-Source, Configurable and Extendible RISC-V Microcontroller

Ruben Rodriguez, David Atienza Alonso, Benoît Walter Denkinger, Thomas Christoph Müller, Miguel Peon Quiros, Saverio Nasturzio, Simone Machetti, Pasquale Davide Schiavone, José Angel Miranda Calero, Rubén Rodríguez Álvarez

In this work, we present eXtendible Heterogeneous Energy-Efficient Platform (X-HEEP), a configurable and extendible single-core RISC-V-based ultra-low-power microcontroller. X-HEEP can be used standalone as a low-cost microcontroller, or it can be integrat ...
