We summarize some current trends in embedded systems design and point out some of
their characteristics, such as the chasm between analytical and computational models, and …

We present Calyx, a new intermediate language (IL) for compiling high-level programs into
hardware designs. Calyx combines a hardware-like structural language with a software-like …

Closely monitoring the behavior of a software system during its execution enables
developers and analysts to observe, and ultimately understand, how it works. This kind of …

Technology trends prompting architects to consider greater heterogeneity and hardware
specialization have exposed an increasing need for vertically integrated research …

This paper explores the design and implementation of BORPH, an operating system
designed for FPGA-based reconfigurable computers. Hardware designs execute as normal …

In this paper, we present GradPIM, a processingin-memory architecture which accelerates
parameter updates of deep neural networks training. As one of processing-in-memory …

Modern Systems-on-Chip (SoC) designs are increasingly heterogeneous and contain
specialized semi-programmable accelerators in addition to programmable processors. In …

Abstract Machine learning is yielding unprecedented interest in research and industry, due
to recent success in many applied contexts such as image classification and object …

Actor frameworks and similar reactive programming techniques are widely used for building
concurrent systems. They promise to be efficient and scale well to a large number of cores or …

This paper describes an automatic approach to accelerate image processing pipelines
using FPGAs. An image processing pipeline can be viewed as a graph of interconnected …
