| 2025 | HeteroSVD: Efficient SVD Accelerator on Versal ACAP with Algorithm-Hardware Co-DesignabstractSingular value decomposition (SVD) is a matrix factorization technique widely used in signal processing and recommendation systems, etc. In general, the time complexity of SVD algorithms is cubic to the problem size, making SVD algorithms difficult to meet stringent performance requirements in real-time. However, existing FPGA and GPU solutions fall short of jointly optimizing latency, throughput, and power consumption. To settle this issue, this paper proposes HeteroSVD, a heterogeneous reconfigurable accelerator for SVD computation on the Versal ACAP platform. HeteroSVD introduces a system-level SVD decomposition mechanism and proposes an algorithm-hardware co-design method to optimize SVD ordering jointly and AI engine (AIE)-centric dataflow and placement with Versal. Furthermore, in order to improve the quality of results (QoR) and facilitate micro-architecture selection, we introduce an automatic optimization framework that performs accurate performance modeling and fast design space exploration. Experiment results demonstrate that HeteroSVD reduces the latency by $1.98 \times$ over existing FPGA accelerators and outperforms GPU solutions with an improvement of up to $7.22 \times$ in latency, $1.77 \times$ in throughput, and $13.18 \times$ in energy efficiency.

| 2025 | VSpGEMM: Exploiting Versal ACAP for High-Performance SpGEMM AccelerationabstractSparse general matrix-matrix multiplication (SpGEMM) serves as a fundamental operation in real-world applications such as deep learning. Different from general matrix multiplication, matrices in SpGEMM are highly sparse and therefore require a compact representation. This places an additional burden on data preprocessing and exchanging and also causes irregular memory access patterns, which can in turn lead to communication and computation bottlenecks. To break these bottlenecks, we present VSpGEMM, a hardware accelerator for SpGEMM that is tailored and optimized on Versal ACAP. Firstly, a new storage format called BCSX is proposed in VSpGEMM, which offers a unified and block-wise compression strategy to deal with both row-major and columnmajor representation of non-zero data, enabling fixed-pattern memory accesses and effective data preloading. Secondly, a multi-level tiling mechanism is introduced to decompose the holistic SpGEMM into multiple computation granularities that fit into the AI Engines (AIEs) on Versal in a hierarchical manner, enhancing data reuse. Thirdly, a hybrid partitioning scheme is presented to orchestrate both the AIEs and programmable logic (PL) for intermediate product merging, which together resolve the issues of high memory utilization and communication demand. Experimental results demonstrate a $2.65 \times$ speedup over state-of-the-art (SOTA) GEMM design on Versal and an average $33.62 \times$ improvement in energy efficiency compared to cuSPARSE on RTX 4090 GPU, showing the efficacy of VSpGEMM.
