Title
Multi-fidelity Optimization for High-Level Synthesis Directives
Abstract
High-Level Synthesis (HLS) tools enable rapid hardware development, but design expertise and effort are necessary to tune the high-level descriptions into optimized circuits. To improve designer productivity, automated design-space exploration techniques have been proposed. However, the optimization processes sample expensive CAD flows. In this paper, we adapt multi-fidelity optimization methods to incorporate low-fidelity estimates available in the FPGA CAD flow and speed up tuning of HLS parameters. We find that multi-fidelity optimization techniques can significantly reduce optimization time compared to previous approaches.
