Abstract
Embodiments herein describe techniques for interfacing a neural network application with a neural network accelerator using a library. The neural network application may execute on a host computing system while the neural network accelerator executes on a massively parallel hardware system, e.g., a FPGA. The library operates a pipeline for submitting the tasks received from the neural network application to the neural network accelerator. In one embodiment, the pipeline includes a pre-processing stage, an FPGA execution stage, and a post-processing stage which each correspond to different threads. When receiving a task from the neural network application, the library generates a packet that includes the information required for the different stages in the pipeline to perform the tasks. Because the stages correspond to different threads, the library can process multiple packets in parallel which can increase the utilization of the neural network accelerator on the hardware system.
