| Abstract | Despite the considerable improvements in the quality of HLS tools, they still require the designer's manual optimizations and tweaks to generate efficient results, which negates the HLS design productivity gains. Majority of designer interventions lead to optimizations that are often global in nature, for instance, finding patterns in functions that better fit a custom designed solution. We introduce a high-level resource-aware regularity extraction workflow, called RxRE that detects a class of patterns in an input program, and enhances resource sharing to balance resource usage against increased throughput. RxRE automatically detects structural patterns, or repeated sequence of floating-point operations, from sequential loops, selects suitable resources for them, and shares resources for all instances of the selected patterns. RxRE reduces required hardware area for synthesizing an instance of the program. Hence, more number of program replicas can be fitted in the fixed area budget of an FPGA. RxRE contributes to a pre-synthesis workflow that exploits the inherent regularity of applications to achieve higher computational throughput using off-the-shelf HLS tools without any changes to the HLS flow. It uses a string-based pattern detection approach to find linear patterns across loops within the same function. It deploys a simple but effective model to estimate resource utilization and latency of each candidate design, to avoid synthesizing every possible design alternative. We have implemented and evaluated RxRE using a set of C benchmarks. The synthesis results on a Xilinx Virtex FPGA show that the reduced area of the transformed programs improves the number of mapped kernels by a factor of 1.54X on average (maximum 2.8X) which yields on average 1.59X (maximum 2.4X) higher throughput over Xilinx Vivado HLS tool solution. Current implementation has several limitations and only extracts a special case of regularity that is subject of current optimization and study. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
