NVIDIA: Design and Verification of a Machine Learning Accelerator SoC Using an Object-Oriented HLS-Based Design Flow
Using an Object-Oriented HLS-Based Design Flow
A high-productivity digital VLSI flow for designing complex SoCs is presented in this webinar. It includes High-Level Synthesis tools, an efficient implementation of Latency-Insensitive Channels, and MatchLib - an object-oriented library of synthesizable SystemC and C++ components. The flow was demonstrated on a programmable machine learning inference accelerator SoC designed in 16nm FinFET technology.
