HDLRegression: A reliable and efficient tool for FPGA regression testing / Elvegård, Marius (speaker) (Inventas)
HDLRegression was developed to provide a reliable, efficient tool for regression testing of maintenance testbenches for UVVM and other FPGA project testbenches. It simplifies simulations with minimal changes—just a single comment in the testbench entity—making it easy to integrate into existing projects. One big advantage is its independence from any specific verification framework, enabling use with UVVM, OSVVM, VUnit, or any other in-house tools for maximum flexibility. As FPGA designs grow more complex, numerous tests are needed to verify functionality. [...]

Allo: A Python-Embedded Programming Model for Composable Accelerator Design / Chen, Hongzheng (speaker) (Cornell University)
Special-purpose hardware accelerators are critical for performance gains amid slowing technology scaling, but designers lack effective tools to build complex accelerators. Existing high-level synthesis (HLS) tools require intrusive source-level changes to attain high performance while most accelerator design languages excel only with simple kernels. [...]

Application-Specific Arithmetic Operators with the FloPoCo HDL core generator / de Dinechin, Florent (speaker) (INSA-Lyon)
Software programming languages have trained us to view computing in terms of a handful of operations over a handful of integer and floating-point formats: those supported by general-purpose processors and GPUs. In FPGAs, however, we have the opportunity to design the arithmetic for the application. [...]

Distributed Arithmetic for Real-time Neural Networks on FPGAs / Sun, Chang (speaker) (California Institute of Technology (US))
Neural networks with a latency requirement at the order of $\mu$s, like the ones used at the CERN Large Hadron Colliders, are typically deployed on FPGAs fully unrolled. A bottleneck for deployment of such neural networks is area utilization, which is directly related to the constant matrix-vector multiplications (CMVM) performed in the networks. [...]

A low latency Gated Recurrent Unit Implementation for the AMD Versal AI Engine / Sapkas, Michail (speaker) (Universita e INFN, Padova (IT))
Trying to modulate the RF cavity of a Synchrotron Light Source by leveraging Reinforcement Learning, resulted in a hardware implementation of the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) on the Versal AI Engine, by AMD Xilinx and extremely efficient in performing the main numerical operations needed by the model. RNNs have been designed to handle time series, and they are the perfect candidates to handle this kind of task. Although RNNs don't parallelize well, their ability to distill input and pass information into the hidden state, could be beneficial for real time control tasks. I will firstly introduce the AI Engine and its features. [...]
