ChasoΕ: Supporting Cross HBM Channel Data Migration to Enable Efficient Sparse Algebraic Acceleration
Ubaid Bakhtiar, Amirmahdi Namjoo, Bahar Asgari
58th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO) Β· 2025
An HBM-based streaming accelerator for sparse matrix-vector multiplication that migrates data across HBM channels (Cross-HBM Channel out-of-order scheduling) to mitigate resource underutilization.
