Having a primary background in traditional FPGA and DSP development, the idea of programming AIE processors using high-level languages was unfamiliar to us. In addition, we did not yet understand the available methods of defining the dataflow into and out of the AIE array. To dispel our worries, we decided to start small and build up our experience with AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\nAt a high level, the AIE array is similar to a GPU in that it consists of hundreds of vector processors. Each AIE processor can perform up to eight complex multiplications per cycle and has its own memory scratch pad for temporary storage of work. Data inputs and outputs are AXI4-Streams and can flow from the programmable logic into multiple AIE processors before being output from the AIE array. These functions executed by the AIEs are called kernels1, and a single AIE can share its time between different kernels.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b975ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2b975ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"font-size: 20px;\">THE POWER OF VERSAL ACAP TECHNOLOGY IN A\nREADY-TO-RUN, PROVEN AND TESTED PLATFORM<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-fe19079 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fe19079\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a9454d7\" data-id=\"a9454d7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0281678 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0281678\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">Jump-start development with the Model 8258 low-cost 6U VPX platform to build, run and debug applications on the SCFE6931 Dual Versal ACAP processing module.

These test vectors represented the input data that would normally flow from the programmable logic fabric.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-946dbcb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"946dbcb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Initial Design: Simple Beamformer Kernel Stream Ports Diagram<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f4790a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0f4790a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"237\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vicmyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/acap-beamformer-kernal-stream-diagram-1024x237.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16915\" alt=\"Beamformer kernal stream ports diagram.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vicmyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/acap-beamformer-kernal-stream-diagram-1024x237.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vicmyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/acap-beamformer-kernal-stream-diagram-300x70.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vicmyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/acap-beamformer-kernal-stream-diagram-768x178.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vicmyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/acap-beamformer-kernal-stream-diagram.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be726a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"be726a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"170\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vicmyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/acap-beamformer-debug-screen.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16916\" alt=\"Beamformer Kernel Stream Debug Diagram.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vicmyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/acap-beamformer-debug-screen.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.vicmyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/acap-beamformer-debug-screen-300x51.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vicmyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/acap-beamformer-debug-screen-768x131.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-259b9a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"259b9a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c07adda elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c07adda\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"color: #d10202; font-size: 23px;\">REVIEWING OUR INITIAL AIE DESIGN<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fbf98d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fbf98d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">After simulating our AIE kernel, we used the Vitis\u2122 Analyzer tool to display the trace data generated.

RTPs can be single values or entire arrays that are passed from either the processing system (PS) or another kernel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\nUsing RTPs to store weights alongside the kernel replaced the need for them to be streamed from the Programmable Logic (PL) , simplifying the design.

The last kernel finishes the calculations and outputs the data to the FPGA fabric.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6033955 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6033955\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Multi-Kernel Graph<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d036a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8d036a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"976\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vicmyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/acap-multi-kernel-graph.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16927\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vicmyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/acap-multi-kernel-graph.jpg 976w, https:\/\/www.vicmyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/acap-multi-kernel-graph-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vicmyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/acap-multi-kernel-graph-768x357.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 976px) 100vw, 976px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3448c74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3448c74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da7d736 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"da7d736\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"color: #d10202; font-size: 23px;\">HIGH-PERFORMANCE APPLICATIONS<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29316df elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29316df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">For the most demanding applications, designers should consider how to structure graphs so they can scale efficiently across many AIEs. The physical location of kernels and I\/O interfaces is also important. A good starting point is to map the dataflow of the application, as this will guide the other aspects of the AIE design.\n<\/P>\n<p class=\"p1\">\nInput data should flow directly upward from the logic fabric through the AIE array. This is because the AIE array\u2019s AXI4-Stream interconnect is non-symmetrical, with more paths traveling north than any other direction (see the AIE Array Diagram).\n<\/P>\n<p class=\"p1\">\nIf one of the input streams is broadcast to many kernels, it will occupy more routing as it branches out to each of the destinations.\n<\/P>\n<p class=\"p1\">\nWithin the application, designers should take advantage of the cascade path to forward data between kernels when possible. To transfer low-bandwidth data, designers should consider using RTPs, which can be transferred both between kernels as well as the processing system. These techniques will reduce the total number of data streams and make the application more flexible and easier to implement.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74fad06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"74fad06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"color: #d10202; font-size: 23px;\">CONCLUSION<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdd71ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cdd71ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">Necessity is most assuredly the mother of invention.
