Abstract

dataflow Design methodology neuromorphic computing sparse compressed row (csr) sparse matrix-vector multiplication spiking neural net- works (snns) systolic array
Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) encoding stores only non-zero elements of a sparse matrix along with indexing information for efficient MVM. We propose QUDA, a heterogeneous 2D dataflow architecture that operates directly on CSR-encoded, quantized weights to improve memory efficiency and utilization. It combines flow-through systolic array (FTSA) columns for partial accumulation with a final output-stationary systolic array (OSSA) column for accumulation and spike generation. Our results show significant improvements in resource utilization and power consumption compared to state-of-the-art designs.
