There are two components to this lab:

• HLS Tutorial (25pts)

  • Part 1 (5 pts): Vector add optimization
  • Part 2 (5 pts): Matrix multiplication optimization
  • Part 3 (15 pts): CPU optimization

• Simple VTA Design (75pts)

  • Part 1.a (20 pts): GEMM core implementation
  • Part 1.b (20 pts): GEMM core optimization

• HLS Tutorial:

  • cpu.cc
  • cpu_test.cc
  • answers.txt

• Simple VTA Design:

  • vta.cc
  • test_lib.cc
  • vta_cynth.rpt
  • vta.bit
  • output.txt
