FPGN: Redefining Ultra-Fast Programmable Gate-based Neural Acceleration with Differentiable LUTs

Achieving nanosecond-scale inference latency for deep neural networks (DNNs) has become a primary architectural concern for latency-critical applications. While Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) offer a promising substrate for low-latency inference, conventional FPGA accelerators remain arithmetic-centric, using LUTs primarily as building blocks for numerical operators and peripheral logic.

Numbat: Building and Verifying a Self-Contained Machine-Learning Stack

The paper introduces Numbat, a self‑contained machine‑learning stack implemented entirely in Zig with no external runtime dependencies. It covers tensor computation, automatic differentiation, neural‑network modules, mixed precision, multi‑GPU training, data loading, and monitoring, and exposes a stable C ABI with over 1,400 entry points and bindings for six languages. The authors verify the stack against a reference implementation at multiple levels, uncovering ten silent recipe divergences, and demonstrate its practical capability by training a 25.9M‑parameter YOLOv8m detector on COCO 2017, achieving a competitive mAP score and matching single‑GPU performance.

Surrogate Neural Architecture Codesign Package (SNAC-Pack)

arXiv:2605. 16138v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural architecture search (NAS) is a powerful approach for automating model design, but existing methods often optimize for accuracy alone or rely on proxy metrics such as bit operations (BOPs) that correlate poorly with hardware cost.
