high level synthesis for machine learning (previously hls4ml)

Low riskExact public inventory row

Description

This project develops hardware-software AI codesign tools for FPGAs and ASICs for algorithms running at the extreme edge.

Detailed example

It can be an AI algorithm from prediction to data compression to control (decision making).

AI / analytics pattern

Classical/Predictive Machine Learning: Models trained on data to make predictions or classifications based on identified patterns or relationships.

Automation level / stage

c) Deployed – The use case is being actively authorized or utilized to support the functions or mission of an agency.

Expected benefit

hls4ml is used to implement specialized AI algorithms in embedded hardware. This is valuable across a wide range of scientific applications for enabling real-time processing capabilitles. This can accelerate sientific discovery and time to science thus enabling large cost savings and DOE scientific prestige.
