Quicklogic Forums

Hello everyone,
I am learning about how to utilize QuickLogic's core IP for AI/ML applications running on an FPGA. I see some documents discussing eFPGA and supporting tools, but I am unsure how people have implemented it in practice to optimize performance and reduce latency.

Has anyone done AI/ML projects on an FPGA with QuickLogic and can share their experiences, challenges, and optimization tips?

Thank you very much!

Have you tried using the QuickAI or EOS S3 platform for your experiments yet? I’m curious how the performance compared to traditional FPGA setups.

Run INT8/INT4 instead of float32 to save LUTs/DSPs/BRAM and increase throughput. This is best practice on most FPGAs/MCU-MLs. Have you tried it yet?

The biggest challenges tend to be memory bandwidth and tool-flow iteration, but starting with a small kernel and scaling up works well.

My brain cells felt like they were in a gladiatorial arena. One project, we wrestled with a neural network model, struggling to port it efficiently. It was a true test of my Slice Master skills and patience to make those circuits hum.

Hey everyone, I'm diving into AI/ML on QuickLogic FPGAs and exploring eFPGA capabilities. The documentation is helpful, but real-world examples are scarce. Has anyone tackled similar AI/ML projects using QuickLogic? I'm particularly interested in your experiences, hurdles faced, and any optimization secrets you've discovered. Pokerogue is a fun game.

Okay, intriguing post! So, AI/ML on FPGAs, eh? Sounds complex. Optimizing for performance is always a tightrope walk, and latency, ugh, the bane of real-time processing. eFPGA, always seemed like a gamble. I faced a similar memory constraint challenge when trying to get a neural network to run on a resource-limited embedded platform for a robotics project. It felt like wrangling a digital serpent, a bit like trying to get a high score in Slither io.

It’s great to see your interest in using QuickLogic's core IP for AI/ML on FPGAs. Learning from others' experiences can be invaluable, much like mastering the game through practice and strategy. Good luck, and I hope you find some helpful insights!
