I/O Bandwidth Requirements

When different neural networks run in the DPU, the I/O bandwidth requirement is different. Even the

I/O bandwidth requirement of different layers in one neural network are different. The I/O bandwidth

requirements for some neural networks, averaged by layer have been tested with one DPU core running

at full speed. The peak and average I/O bandwidth requirements of three different neural networks are

shown in Table 12. The table only shows the number of two commonly used DPU (B1152 and B4096).

Note that when multiple DPU cores run in parallel, each core might not be able to run at full speed due

to the limitation of I/O bandwidth.

If one DPU core needs to run at full speed, the peak I/O bandwidth required shall be met. The I/O

bandwidth is mainly used for accessing data though the AXI master interfaces (Dpu0_M_AXI_DATA0 and

Dpu0_M_AXI_DATA1).
