Efficient Block-Layer Parallel Inference for Vision-Language-Action on Hybrid Architectures

arXiv:2608. 14586v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are becoming a promising paradigm for autonomous driving, but their deployment on existing vehicle platforms remains difficult because they introduce both high inference latency and strong GPU-side resource pressure.

FALCON: FPGA-Accelerated Latency-Certifiable Occupancy Networks for Camera-Based Autonomous Driving

FALCON is a camera‑based 3D occupancy front‑end built on the AMD Kria KR260 FPGA that provides explicit latency guarantees for autonomous driving perception. The system uses cycle‑bounded programmable‑logic compute, a measured inference envelope over 100k frames, and a watchdog to flag stale outputs, achieving all 300k proxy frames within a 100 ms deadline plus at most 10.2 ms. On the full FlashOcc pipeline the board attains 29.88 mIoU on the Occ3D‑nuScenes set, matching 92.8 % of an FP32 baseline, while maintaining tighter tail latency than competing Jetson Orin and datacenter GPUs.
