Abstract:
This paper introduces the ShrinkFit accelerator framework, which simplifies the design of systems combining multiple accelerators. A single ShrinkFit system design can be deployed to FPGAs large and small, without time-consuming architectural parameter surveys. We describe four ShrinkFit accelerators implemented for an FPGA-based robotic bee brain prototype and demonstrate the flexibility of ShrinkFit with low performance overheads (under 10% on average) and low resource overheads (0-8% for accelerators and under 2% for hard logic blocks).
