However, performance tuning for GPUs and FPGAs is not trivial. In this talk, I will first present the performance modeling and optimization for FPGAs. I will introduce an accurate performance model for OpenCL workloads on FPGAs and how we accelerate deep learning applications on FPGAs. For the second half of the talk, I will present on-chip storage and machine learning optimization techniques for GPUs. The proposed techniques leverage on compile-time and run-time techniques to improve the cache performance, register utilization, pipeline utilization and overall performance.
