Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In recent years, reconfigurable architectures such as FPGAs have been attracting more and more attention. Design Space Exploration (DSE) in HLS tools is effective in improving the quality of the final circuit, but due to the huge search space, optimization algorithms have not been sufficiently compared and investigated to date. In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of Optuna, an hyperparameter optimization framework, whose effectiveness in DSE for HLS design has not yet been fully investigated. However, existing DSE frameworks have a tight coupling between the compilation flow and the optimization function. For this problem, we propose a Scala-based DSL and DSE framework that separates the algorithm specification from the hardware optimization setting. In the future, we will implement and evaluate the framework to identify effective optimization algorithms for the DSE.
