SNAX Framework

Snax is an end-to-end, open-source multi-accelerator cluster design framework. It consists of the snax-mlir compile toolchain and the snax cluster hardware framework.

SNAX-MLIR Repo

SNAX Cluster Repo

HeMAiA Repo

Fast DNN Accelerator Design Space Exploration Frameworks

ZigZag Repo | Documentation | Tutorial

ZigZag targets rapid DSE for DNN accelerator platforms supporting an broad set of hardware architectures and workload scheduling scenarios beyond other existing frameworks.
The latest version of ZigZag includes support for modeling of analog and digital in-memory computing accelerators and estimating both peak/workload performance at the macro and system level.

Stream Repo | Documentation | Tutorial

Stream is an extension of ZigZag capable of modeling multi-core DNN acceleration employing fine-grained layer-fused processing.

ZigZag-LLM Repo

ZigZag-LLM is a framework to rapidly model Large Language Models on dedicated, single-core accelerators and facilitates early identification of energy bottlenecks within the hardware architecture.

DeFiNes Repo

DeFiNes extends ZigZag to enable the DSE of cross-layer depth-first scheduling (a.k.a. layer fusion, or cascaded execution)

Accelerator-aware Neural Network Deployment

HTVM Repo

HTVM is a neural network compiler based on Dory and TVM that allows for efficient neural network deployment on heterogenous TinyML platforms with scratchpad-memory accelerators.
