2021-07-19MLBEDSW-4812: Deep speech performance block config updateTim Hall
Deep speech was exhibiting poor performance in its first three layers due to poor SHRAM utilisation. - Given a choice between multiple identical-cost block configs, the allocator was choosing the first one it encountered. This commit biases the choice towards blocks with a larger IFM fetch area to improve SHRAM utilisation. Signed-off-by: Tim Hall <tim.hall@arm.com> Change-Id: I2ff18a13444b8812cb451a606ff692bf290e7d20
2021-06-17Block config optimisation for 256/512 configurationsTim Hall
- 256 and 512 configuration variants execute 1D convolutions in an optimised manner compared to their 2x2 microblock dimensions. This commit takes this into account to improve Conv1D throughput on these configurations. Signed-off-by: Tim Hall <tim.hall@arm.com> Change-Id: I6ecdf6e4a219e356327b22f8393f50ee8817af23
2021-06-17vela: Improve block configuration and weight buffering algorithmTim Hall
- Update block config selection to take into account partial IFM fetches at edge of non-whole OFM block data. - Change to scheduler depth slicing for networks in MLBEDSW-4637 for improved buffering. This helps general performance by buffering larger depth slices. - Bug fix for opt_max_schedule always being fitted to SRAM which prevented the optimisation step running in some cases.
