Para-Pipe is a hierarchical mapping framework that integrates intra- and inter-stage operator parallelism within a pipelined architecture for machine‑learning computational graphs on heterogeneous System‑on‑Chip (SoC) platforms. By selectively fine‑tuning parallelism levels across pipeline stages, it navigates the trade‑off between throughput and latency, reducing inter‑processor communication overhead and improving energy efficiency. Evaluation on Amlogic and Black Sesame SoCs shows multiple Pareto‑optimal configurations, with throughput‑optimized setups achieving up to 11.0% better energy efficiency than purely pipelined strategies and 23.3% better than non‑pipelined parallel execution.

This paper presents an energy-efficient hardware acceleration of the convolutional layers in the U-Net architecture for image segmentation, implemented on FPGA. While digit-serial arithmetic, particularly most-significant-digit-first (MSDF) techniques, offers a compact hardware footprint, it suffers from initial latency before producing the first output digit.
