VTA: Open, Modular, Deep Learning Accelerator Stack

VTA (versatile tensor accelerator) is an open-source deep learning accelerator complemented with an end-to-end TVM-based compiler stack.

The key features of VTA include:

  • Generic, modular, open-source hardware
    • Streamlined workflow to deploy to FPGAs.
    • Simulator support to prototype compilation passes on regular workstations.
  • Driver and JIT runtime for both simulator and FPGA hardware back-end.
  • End-to-end TVM stack integration
    • Direct optimization and deployment of models from deep learning frameworks via TVM.
    • Customized and extensible TVM compiler back-end.
    • Flexible RPC support to ease deployment, and program FPGAs with the convenience of Python.
