Abstract
Since the emergence of transformer-based models, the computational demands for Large Language Model (LLM) inference have been increasing exponentially, primarily due to their compounding parameter sizes, their structural complexity, and the use of non-linear functions. This tendency leads to the necessity of deploying them on low-power edge devices and DNN accelerators, to fuel next-generation agentic AI systems. Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Architectures (CGRAs) have proven to be a compelling paradigm for edge acceleration, combining the programmability of general-purpose platforms with the high performance and energy efficiency associated with ASICs. In this work, we introduce an end-to-end performance modeling and mapping framework for LLM inference on heterogeneous CGRAs. Our methodology enables rapid exploration of the micro-architectural design space parameters, i.e., the number of processing elements, vector sizes, and memory configurations, by providing an accurate, explainable, and analytical CGRA performance modeling methodology, with an average cycle error of 0.9%. Architecturally, we build upon R-Blocks, a heterogeneous CGRA platform, and extend it to support floating-point arithmetic operations as well as a full-stack compilation and mapping flow for both full (FP32) and quantized (INT8) Llama2 models. The proposed methodology, evaluated on a 22nm technology node, achieves superior peak performance per Watt compared to related works such as REVAMP and CFEACT (1.8× and 2.8× respectively).

Custom Floating-Point Computations for the Optimization of ODE Solvers on FPGA

Authors: Serena Curzel and Marco Gribaudo

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 127, 16th Workshop on Parallel Programming and Run-Time Management Techniques for Many-Core Architectures and 14th Workshop on Design Tools and Architectures for Multicore Embedded Computing Platforms (PARMA-DITAM 2025)

Abstract
Mean Field Analysis and Markovian Agents are powerful techniques for modeling complex systems of distributed interacting objects, for which efficient analytical and numerical solution algorithms can be implemented through linear systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Solving such ODE systems on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is a promising alternative to traditional CPU- and GPU-based approaches, especially in terms of energy consumption; however, the floating-point computations required are generally thought to be slow and inefficient when implemented on FPGA. In this paper, we demonstrate the use of High-Level Synthesis with automated customization of low-precision floating-point calculations, obtaining hardware accelerators for ODE solvers with improved quality of results and minimal output error. The proposed methodology does not require any manual rewriting of the solver code, but it remains prohibitively slow to evaluate any possible floating-point configuration through logic synthesis; in the future, we will thus implement automated design space exploration methods able to suggest promising configurations under user-defined accuracy and performance constraints.

SO(DA)^2: End-to-end Generation of Specialized Reconfigurable Architectures (Invited Talk)

Authors: Antonino Tumeo, Nicolas Bohm Agostini, Serena Curzel, Ankur Limaye, Cheng Tan, Vinay Amatya, Marco Minutoli, Vito Giovanni Castellana, Ang Li, and Joseph Manzano

Abstract
Modern data analysis applications are complex workflows composed of algorithms with diverse behaviors. They may include digital signal processing, data filtering, reduction, compression, graph algorithms, and machine learning. Their performance is highly dependent on the volume, the velocity, and the structure of the data. They are used in many different domains (from small, embedded devices, to large-scale, high-performance computing systems) but in all cases they need to provide answers with very low latency to enable real-time decision making and autonomy. Coarse-grained reconfigurable arrays (CGRAs), i.e., architectures composed of functional units able to perform complex operations interconnected through a network-on-chip and configure the datapath to map complex kernels, are a promising platform to accelerate these applications thanks to their adaptability. They provide higher flexibility than application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) while offering increased energy efficiency and faster reconfiguration speed with respect to field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). However, designing and specializing CGRAs requires significant efforts. The inherent flexibility of these devices makes the application mapping process equally important to the hardware design generation. To obtain efficient systems, approaches that simultaneously considers software and hardware optimizations are necessary. In this paper, we discuss the Software Defined Architectures for Data Analytics (SO(DA)²) toolchain, an end-to-end hardware/software codesign framework to generate custom reconfigurable architectures for data analytics applications. (SO(DA)²) is composed of a high-level compiler (SODA-OPT) and a hardware generator (OpenCGRA) and can automatically explore and generate optimal CGRA designs starting from high-level programming frameworks. SO(DA)² considers partial dynamic reconfiguration as key element of the system design. We discuss the various elements of the framework and demonstrate the flow on the case study of a partial dynamic reconfigurable CGRA design for data streaming applications.
