of_acc_sparse_tensor
Sparse tensor engine
Maturity plannedTargets FPGA + ASICDifficulty Very hardPriority 2
Matrix engine supporting 2:4 structured sparsity and compressed unstructured formats (CSR, CSC, bitmap) with zero skipping in the datapath.
Planned. This block is specified in the catalog with its interfaces and targets. No implementation exists yet; the skeleton command below generates a lint-clean shell with its ports and registers.
Interfaces
| Port | Direction | Kind | Width | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ctrl | in/out | AXI4-Lite control bus | 32 | Control and status registers, including ID, VERSION and STATUS |
| irq | out | interrupt | 1 | Interrupt request |
| a_in | in | AXI4-Stream | 256 | |
| c_out | out | AXI4-Stream | 256 |
Standards
No external standard applies.
