Hash table is a fundamental data structure for quick search and retrieval of data. It is a key component in complex graph analytics and AI/ML applications. State-of-the-art parallel hash table implementations either make some simplifying assumptions such as supporting only a subset of hash table operations or employ optimizations that lead to performance that is highly data dependent and in the worst case can be similar to a sequential implementation. In contrast, in this work we develop a dynamic hash table that supports all the hash table queries - search, insert, delete, update, while allowing us to support p parallel queries (p>1) per clock cycle via p processing engines (PEs) in the worst case i.e. the performance is data agnostic. We achieve this by implementing novel XOR based multi-ported block memories on FPGAs. Additionally, we develop a technique to optimize the memory requirement of the hash table if the ratio of search to insert/update/delete queries is known beforehand. We implement our design on state-of-the-art FPGA devices. Our design is scalable to 16 PEs and supports throughput up to 5926 MOPS. It matches the throughput of the state-of-the-art hash table design - FASTHash, which only supports search and insert operations. Comparing with the best FPGA design that supports the same set of operations, our hash table achieves up to 12.3x speedup.

We propose without loss of generality strategies to achieve a high-throughput FPGA-based architecture for a QC-LDPC code based on a circulant-1 identity matrix construction. We present a novel representation of the parity-check matrix (PCM) providing
a multi-fold throughput gain. Splitting of the node processing algorithm enables us to achieve pipelining of blocks and hence layers. By partitioning the PCM into not only layers but superlayers we derive an upper bound on the pipelining depth for the compact representation. To validate the architecture, a decoder for the IEEE 802.11n (2012) QC-LDPC is implemented on the Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA with the help of the FPGA IP compiler [2] available in the NI LabVIEW Communication System Design Suite (CSDS) which offers an automated and systematic compilation flow where an optimized hardware implementation from the LDPC algorithm was generated in approximately 3 minutes, achieving an overall throughput of 608Mb/s (at 260MHz). As per our knowledge this is the fastest implementation of the IEEE 802.11n QC-LDPC decoder using an algorithmic compiler.
Even with generational improvements in DRAM technology, memory access latency still remains the major bottleneck for application accelerators, primarily due to limitations in memory interface IPs which cannot fully account for variations in target ap
plications, the algorithms used, and accelerator architectures. Since developing memory controllers for different applications is time-consuming, this paper introduces a modular and programmable memory controller that can be configured for different target applications on available hardware resources. The proposed memory controller efficiently supports cache-line accesses along with bulk memory transfers. The user can configure the controller depending on the available logic resources on the FPGA, memory access pattern, and external memory specifications. The modular design supports various memory access optimization techniques including, request scheduling, internal caching, and direct memory access. These techniques contribute to reducing the overall latency while maintaining high sustained bandwidth. We implement the system on a state-of-the-art FPGA and evaluate its performance using two widely studied domains: graph analytics and deep learning workloads. We show improved overall memory access time up to 58% on CNN and GCN workloads compared with commercial memory controller IPs.
K-means is a popular but computation-intensive algorithm for unsupervised learning. To address this issue, we present KPynq, a work-efficient triangle-inequality based K-means on FPGA for handling large-size, high-dimension datasets. KPynq leverages
an algorithm-level optimization to balance the performance and computation irregularity, and a hardware architecture design to fully exploit the pipeline and parallel processing capability of various FPGAs. In the experiment, KPynq consistently outperforms the CPU-based standard K-means in terms of its speedup (up to 4.2x) and significant energy-efficiency (up to 218x).
We present the design and optimization of a linear solver on General Purpose GPUs for the efficient and high-throughput evaluation of the marginalized graph kernel between pairs of labeled graphs. The solver implements a preconditioned conjugate grad
ient (PCG) method to compute the solution to a generalized Laplacian equation associated with the tensor product of two graphs. To cope with the gap between the instruction throughput and the memory bandwidth of current generation GPUs, our solver forms the tensor product linear system on-the-fly without storing it in memory when performing matrix-vector dot product operations in PCG. Such on-the-fly computation is accomplished by using threads in a warp to cooperatively stream the adjacency and edge label matrices of individual graphs by small square matrix blocks called tiles, which are then staged in registers and the shared memory for later reuse. Warps across a thread block can further share tiles via the shared memory to increase data reuse. We exploit the sparsity of the graphs hierarchically by storing only non-empty tiles using a coordinate format and nonzero elements within each tile using bitmaps. Besides, we propose a new partition-based reordering algorithm for aggregating nonzero elements of the graphs into fewer but denser tiles to improve the efficiency of the sparse format. We carry out extensive theoretical analyses on the graph tensor product primitives for tiles of various density and evaluate their performance on synthetic and real-world datasets. Our solver delivers three to four orders of magnitude speedup over existing CPU-based solvers such as GraKeL and GraphKernels. The capability of the solver enables kernel-based learning tasks at unprecedented scales.
Hybrid memory systems, comprised of emerging non-volatile memory (NVM) and DRAM, have been proposed to address the growing memory demand of applications. Emerging NVM technologies, such as phase-change memories (PCM), memristor, and 3D XPoint, have h
igher capacity density, minimal static power consumption and lower cost per GB. However, NVM has longer access latency and limited write endurance as opposed to DRAM. The different characteristics of two memory classes point towards the design of hybrid memory systems containing multiple classes of main memory. In the iterative and incremental development of new architectures, the timeliness of simulation completion is critical to project progression. Hence, a highly efficient simulation method is needed to evaluate the performance of different hybrid memory system designs. Design exploration for hybrid memory systems is challenging, because it requires emulation of the full system stack, including the OS, memory controller, and interconnect. Moreover, benchmark applications for memory performance test typically have much larger working sets, thus taking even longer simulation warm-up period. In this paper, we propose a FPGA-based hybrid memory system emulation platform. We target at the mobile computing system, which is sensitive to energy consumption and is likely to adopt NVM for its power efficiency. Here, because the focus of our platform is on the design of the hybrid memory system, we leverage the on-board hard IP ARM processors to both improve simulation performance while improving accuracy of the results. Thus, users can implement their data placement/migration policies with the FPGA logic elements and evaluate new designs quickly and effectively. Results show that our emulation platform provides a speedup of 9280x in simulation time compared to the software counterpart Gem5.
