Running PipeCNN on U200

[Alsumbjip]

Hi,
I had tried to run PipeCNN on Xilinx Alveo U200, I'd modified Makefile and config file for U200 and TEST_CASE_1, but it's not worked for HW-Emulation (SW-Emulation is working).

Modified PipeCNN had stopped at CoreConv, and I guess it was waiting for stream input about 'weight_in' and 'data_in'.

And I found arguments 'output_num' and 'conv_loop_cnt' value was zero in waveform profile data.

memRead, memWrite module was working correctly, and arguments 'frac_din', 'frac_w' in coreConv had correct value, but only arguments 'output_num'~'frac_dout' was wrong.

I'd like to get a hint for fixing this problem.

I modified:

• project_xilinx/Makefile: CNN_TYPE->TEST_CASE_1, DEVICE->xilinx_u200_xdma_201830_2
• config_sp.u50: comment/uncomment stream connect for TEST_CASE_1

I working at:

• Ubuntu 18.04
• Vivado 2020.1 / Vitis 2020.1 / Vitis HLS 2020.1 / XRT version 2.9.317

Thank you.

Could you run sw emulation ?

@Alsumbjip Hi, do u deploy PipeCNN successfully in U200? I am also want to try it. thanks,

Hi Prof. Dong, @doonny I also try to deploy your NN on U200. sw_emu is well implement on U200 platform. But hw and hw_emu are failed, you may check below information:
(I just modify platform to U200 in makefile, and doesn't change config which means it use U50 config for my U200. As I don't know how to define ur config file for U200, and could you help me with that? Many thanks!)

Could you run sw emulation ?

Update on U200: just compiled VGG-16 on U200 successfully. But haven't tried ResNet. Pls tell me if anyone run ResNet on U200. Thanks,

Hello,If I run on the u200, my config_sp.u200 file was copied from config_sp.u50. What needs to be modified? I don't know how to modify the config_sp.u200 file, and could you help me with that? Many thanks!

Hello, I also runnedVGG-16 on U200 successfully. but the performance on the U200 is not very good. How about your performance? this is my.
