Mixed Tensor Decompostion (FPL 2023)

This is the implementation of Mixed-TD: Efficient Neural Network Accelerator with Layer-Specific Tensor Decomposition.

Introduction

Mixed-TD is a framework that maps CNNs onto FPGAs based on a novel tensor decomposition method. The proposed method applies layer-specific Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Canonical Polyadic Decomposition (CPD) in a mixed manner, achieving 1.73x to 10.29x throughput per DSP compared to state-of-the-art accelerators.
