Abstract
This paper introduces a novel optimization frame-
work for deep neural network (DNN) hardware accelerators, enabling the rapid development of customized and automated design flows. More specifically, our approach aims to automate the selection and configuration of low-level optimization techniques, encompassing DNN and FPGA low-level optimizations. We introduce novel optimization and transformation tasks for building design-flow architectures, which are highly customizable and flexible, thereby enhancing the performance and efficiency of DNN accelerators. Our results demonstrate considerable
reductions of up to 92% in DSP usage and 89% in LUT usage for two networks, while maintaining accuracy and eliminating the need for human effort or domain expertise. In comparison to state-of-the-art approaches, our design achieves higher accuracy and utilizes three times fewer DSP resources, underscoring the advantages of our proposed framework.
