Documentation & Tutorials: https://sharc-lab.github.io/HLSFactory/docs/ (🚧 under construction)
pip Install (via GitHub):
pip install git+https://github.com/sharc-lab/HLSFactoryconda Install:
conda install --channel https://sharc-lab.github.io/HLSFactory/dist-conda hlsfactorymamba Install:
mamba install --channel https://sharc-lab.github.io/HLSFactory/dist-conda hlsfactorySome of the documentation and packaging is still under construction. However, you can install the HLSFactory package via pip and get started running the demos, importing your own HLS designs into the HLSFactory framework, and using HLSFactory for your own research and experiments.
To be able to run these demos you can install the package using the following command:
pip install git+https://github.com/sharc-lab/HLSFactoryThis will install the package and its dependencies. No other dependencies are required to run the demos.
You can then run the demos by following the instructions in the respective notebooks and scripts. We also include rendered PDFs for any Jupyter notebooks.
However, you can still get started with a demo script and Jupyter notebook to run a full "Frontend Design Space Sampling-> Vitis HLS -> Vivado Implementation -> Output Data" flow on the built-in PolyBench, Machsuite, and CHStone datasets. The script and notebook for this demo are located in demo/demo_full_flow/.
We also provide a demo Jupyter notebook, with detailed instructions on how to get started importing your own HLS designs into the HLSFactory framework to run your own flows and collect data for your own experiments and research. The notebook for this demo is located in demo/demo_custom_datasets/.
HLSFactory is a framework for High-Level Synthesis (HLS) design datasets. It provides both the facilities to collect and build custom HLS datasets using various frontends, supported HLS tools, and data aggregation as well as provides built-in design dataset sources for users who want to run their own experiments out of the box. We also provide easy facilities for new users to contribute their own HLS designs to the existing design datasets as well as augment the existing tool flows to support custom flows such as new front ends for design space sampling and new vendor tool support.
We currently include the following HLS design sources as built-in datasets:
- PolyBench: A polyhedral compilation benchmark suite adapted for HLS
- Machsuite: A HLS benchmark suite
- CHStoneL A HLS benchmark suite
- Rosetta (🚧 under construction): A HLS benchmark suite with kernels targeting machine learning, deep learning, and signal processing applications.
- Parallel Programming for FPGAs: Kernels from the PP4FPGA textbook
- Vitis HLS Examples: A collection of examples from the Vitis HLS tool
- FlowGNN: A collection of GNN accelerator designs
- DGNBooster + Gaussian Process + MaskNet + SkyNet: Selected accelerator kernels from Sharc Lab
We currenly support the following vendor tool flows:
- AMD/Xilinx Vitis HLS and Vivado
- Intel HLS Compiler and Quartus (🚧 under construction)
We provide documented demos, python scripts and Jupyter notebooks, to get you started with the HLSFactory framework. These demos are located in the demo/ directory.
