One of two conditions will update the best cascade:
- cascade_size < best_cascade_size or
- cascade_size < uncascaded_sram_usage
The last condition is illustrated below, showing an example where it is
better to choose a larger cascade_size (with more OPs) because it will
use less total SRAM usage.
For simplicity, all featuremaps have same size.
Cascade OP1-OP2, OP3 is standalone
-> |OP1| -> roll buffer -> |OP2| -> FM -> |OP3| -> FM
/
|OP0| -> FM
\
-> ....
best_cascade_size : FM + roll buffer + FM
uncascaded_sram_usage: FM + FM + FM
compared with:
Cascade OP1-OP3
-> |OP1| -> roll buffer -> |OP2| -> roll buffer -> |OP3| -> FM
/
|OP0| -> FM
\
-> ....
cascade_size : FM + roll buffer + roll buffer + FM
So, for this use case the comparison will be
(FM + roll buffer + roll buffer + FM) < (FM + roll buffer + FM) or
(FM + roll buffer + roll buffer + FM) < (FM + FM + FM)
hence, better to choose Cascade OP1-OP3 in this case.
