Hardware Manual¶

Hardware Architectural Specification – a design-level view of the NVDLA hardware architecture, including detail on each sub-component, and register-level documentation.

NVDLA v1¶

This is the non-configurable "full-precision" version of NVDLA. The design code is in nvdlav1 branch.

In-memory data formats – description of the in-memory format for weight and activation data.
Integrator’s Manual – a guide for SoC integrators, including a walk-through of the NVDLA build infrastructure, NVDLA’s testbenches, and synthesis scripts.
Precision Preservation – the technologies used to keep the precision when formats INT8/INT16/FP16 are used.
LUT programming – the guide to programming lut tables
Unit Description – description of internal architecture of sub-units
Programming Guide – programming guide of sub-units

This version is scalable design of NVDLA. Currently, the config nv_small is verified. The architecture of sub-units is same as NVDLA v1.
