Realease Notes

Go to here for official releases on Github.

v0.3.0

  • Installing from PyPI

  • Create configuration dictionary from model object

  • Run ‘C Simulation’ from Python with hls_model.predict(X)

  • Trace model layer output with hls_model.trace(X)

  • Write HLS project, run synthesis flow from Python

  • QKeras support: convert models trained using layers and quantizers from QKeras

  • Example models moved to separate repo, added API to retrieve them

  • New Softmax implementations

  • Minor fixes: weights exported at higher precision, concatenate layer shape corrected

v0.2.0:

  • tf_to_hls tool for converting tensorflow models (protobufs .pb)

  • Support for larger Conv1D/2D layers

  • Support for binary and ternary layers from QKeras.

  • API enhancements (custom layers, multiple backends)

  • Profiling support

  • hls4ml reportcommand to gather HLS build reports, hls4ml build -l for Logic Synthesis

  • Support for all-in-one Keras’s .h5 files (obtained with Keras’s save() function, without the need for separate .json and .h5 weight file).

  • Fused Batch Normalisation into Dense layer optimsation.

v0.1.6:

  • Support for larger Dense layers (enabled with Strategy: Resource in the configuration file)

  • Binary/Ternary NN refinements

  • Built-in optimization framework

  • Optional C/RTL validation

v0.1.5: Per-layer precision and reuse factor

v0.1.3: Adding PyTorch support

v0.1.2: First beta release

  • some bug fixes for pipelining and support for layer types

v0.0.2: first alpha release

  • full translation of DNNs from Keras

  • an example Conv1D exists

  • parallel mode is supported (serial mode, not yet)
