title = "MemFlow: Memory-driven data scheduling with datapath co-design in accelerators for large-scale inference applications",
abstract = "SRAM scratch-pad memory in accelerators is limited in size and bandwidth. Besides computation, accelerator design is about how data flow is scheduled across the memory hierarchy, from DRAM to datapath registers. There is limited support for this in current tools. Thus, we propose MemFlow, memory-driven data scheduling with datapath co-design in accelerators, to improve computing performance and reduce higher-level memory accesses. We demonstrate its efficacy using several key kernels from large-scale inference applications.",
