Abstract
The increasing complexity of Neural Network models, combined with the growing demand for their deployment on resource-constrained platforms, has intensified the need for efficient hardware design methodologies. Nowadays, FPGAs are a promising solution for accelerating NN inference at the edge, thanks to their high flexibility and power efficiency, thus representing a favorable trade-off between GPUs and ASICs. In this context, NN accelerators are commonly implemented by mapping the layers to optimized HLS/RTL representations that are then interconnected through a streaming architecture. A key challenge in this design paradigm lies in configuring the pipeline stages, particularly in determining the degree of input and output parallelism for each layer.
These parameters heavily impact throughput and resource utilization, and must be carefully tuned to satisfy application constraints
