NVDLA
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
`NVDLA <http://nvdla.org/>`_ is an open-source deep learning accelerator developed by NVIDIA.
|
|
The `NVDLA` is attached as a TileLink peripheral so it can be used as a component within the `Rocket Chip SoC generator`.
|
|
The accelerator by itself exposes an AXI memory interface (or two if you use the "Large" configuration), a control interface, and an interrupt line.
|
|
The main way to use the accelerator in Chipyard is to use the `NVDLA SW repository <https://github.com/ucb-bar/nvdla-sw>`_ that was ported to work on FireSim Linux.
|
|
However, you can also use the accelerator in baremetal simulations (refer to ``tests/nvdla.c``).
|
|
|
|
For more information on both the HW architecture and the SW, please visit their `website <http://nvdla.org/>`_.

NVDLA Software with FireMarshal
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Located at ``software/nvdla-workload`` is a FireMarshal-based workload to boot Linux with the proper NVDLA drivers.
|
|
Refer to that ``README.md`` for more information on how to run a simulation.
