Title
Extending The Risc-V Isa For Efficient Rnn-Based 5g Radio Resource Management
Abstract
Radio Resource Management in 5G mobile communication is a challenging problem for which Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) have shown promising results. Accelerating the compute-intensive RNN inference is therefore of utmost importance. Programmable solutions are desirable for effective 5G-RRM coping with the rapidly evolving landscape of RNN variations. In this paper, we investigate RNN inference acceleration by tuning both the instruction set and micro-architecture of a micro-controller-class open-source RISC-V core. We couple HW extensions with software optimizations to achieve an overall improvement in throughput and energy efficiency of 15x and 10x w.r.t. the baseline core on a wide range of RNNs used in various RRM tasks.(1)
