Its growing computational demands make energy efficiency a critical concern. Recent studies demonstrate FPGAs’ superior performance and energy efficiency for computing primitive ERIs, but the computation of highly contracted ERIs introduces significant algorithmic complexity and new design challenges for FPGA acceleration.In this work, we present SORCERI, the first streaming overlay acceleration for highly contracted ERI computations on FPGAs. SORCERI introduces a novel streaming Rys computing unit to calculate roots and weights of Rys polynomials on-chip, and a streaming contraction unit for the contraction of primitive ERIs. This shifts the design bottleneck from limited CPU-FPGA communication bandwidth to available FPGA computation resources. To address practical deployment challenges for a large number of quartet classes, we design three streaming overlays, together with an efficient memory transpose optimization, to cover the 21 most commonly used quartet classes in realistic atomistic simulations. To address the new computation constraints, we use flexible calculation stages with a free-running streaming architecture to achieve high DSP utilization and good timing closure.Experiments demonstrate that SORCERI achieves an average 5.96x, 1.99x, and 1.16x better performance per watt than libint on a 64-core AMD EPYC 7713 CPU, libintx on an Nvidia A40 GPU, and SERI, the prior best-performing FPGA design for primitive ERIs. Furthermore, SORCERI reaches a peak throughput of 44.11 GERIS (109 ERIs per second) that is 1.52x, 1.13x, and 1.93x greater than libint, libintx and SERI, respectively.

For this purpose, fast multi-tau correlators have been developed in dedicated hardware, in software, and on FPGAs. However, for methods such as X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS), which requires to calculate the autocorrelation function independently for hundreds of thousands to millions of pixels from high-resolution detectors, current approaches rely on offline processing after data acquisition. Moreover, the internal pipeline state of so many independent correlators is far too large to keep it on-chip. In this work, we propose a design approach on FPGAs, where pipeline contexts are stored in off-chip HBM memory. Each compute unit iteratively loads the state for a single pixel, processes a short time series for this pixel, and afterwards writes back the context in a dataflow pipeline. We have implemented the required compute kernels with Vitis HLS and analyze resulting designs on an Alveo U280 card. The design achieves the expected performance and for the first time provides sufficient throughput for current high-end detectors used in XPCS."}]},{"status":"public","type":"conference","publication":"Proceedings of the 15th International Symposium on Highly Efficient Accelerators and Reconfigurable Technologies","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"user_id":"67601","department":[{"_id":"518"}],"project":[{"name":"EKI-App: EKI-App: Energieeffiziente Künstliche Intelligenz im Rechenzentrum durch Approximation von tiefen neuronalen Netzen für Field-Programmable Gate Arrays","_id":"296"}],"_id":"59804","citation":{"ama":"Jungemann L, Wintermann B, Riebler H, Plessl C.

These methods ensure performance, portability, and productivity with a unified codebase. Our proposed methodologies outperform state-of-the-art single-GPU implementations based on CUDA on synthetic RMAT graphs. We analysed BFS performance across NVIDIA A100, Intel Max 1550, and AMD MI300X GPUs, achieving a peak performance of 153.27 GTEPS on an RMAT25-64 graph using 8 GPUs on the NVIDIA A100. Furthermore, our work demonstrates the capability to handle RMAT graphs up to scale 29, achieving superior performance on synthetic graphs and competitive results on real-world datasets."}],"status":"public","publication":"Proceedings of the SC '25 Workshops of the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis","type":"conference","title":"Towards Efficient Load Balancing BFS on GPUs: One Code for AMD, Intel & Nvidia","doi":"10.1145/3731599.3767570","date_updated":"2026-03-24T09:06:33Z","publisher":"ACM","author":[{"first_name":"Kaan","last_name":"Olgu","full_name":"Olgu, Kaan"},{"id":"3145","full_name":"Kenter, Tobias","last_name":"Kenter","first_name":"Tobias"},{"first_name":"Jose","full_name":"Nunez-Yanez, Jose","last_name":"Nunez-Yanez"},{"first_name":"Simon","full_name":"McIntosh-Smith, Simon","last_name":"McIntosh-Smith"},{"first_name":"Tom","full_name":"Deakin, Tom","last_name":"Deakin"}],"date_created":"2026-03-24T09:05:22Z","year":"2025","citation":{"mla":"Olgu, Kaan, et al. “Towards Efficient Load Balancing BFS on GPUs: One Code for AMD, Intel & Nvidia.” Proceedings of the SC ’25 Workshops of the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis, ACM, 2025, doi:10.1145/3731599.3767570.","short":"K.

Our post-processing method is based on local density fluctuations of the different constituents in sampling spheres of varying size. It can be easily applied to both molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, including periodic boundary conditions. Multidimensional correlation of the density distributions yields a clear picture of the domain formation due to the subtle balance of different interactions. We apply our approach to the example of force field molecular dynamics simulations of imidazolium-based ionic liquids with different side chain lengths at different temperatures, namely 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, and 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, which are known to form distinct liquid domains. We put the results into the context of existing microheterogeneity analyses and demonstrate the advantages and sensitivity of our novel method. Furthermore, we show how to estimate the configuration entropy from our analysis, and we investigate voids in the system. The analysis has been implemented into our program package TRAVIS and is thus available as free software."}],"type":"journal_article","publication":"Entropy"},{"year":"2024","title":"Noctua 2 Supercomputer","date_created":"2024-04-26T07:39:41Z","abstract":[{"text":"Noctua 2 is a supercomputer operated at the Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing (PC2) at Paderborn University in Germany.

However, the utilization of their network capabilities is often challenging and error-prone because the whole network stack and communication patterns have to be implemented and managed on the FPGAs. Also, this approach conceptually involves a trade-off between the performance potential of improved communication and the impact of resource consumption for communication infrastructure, since the utilized resources on the FPGAs could otherwise be used for computations. In this work, we investigate this trade-off, firstly, by using synthetic benchmarks to evaluate the different configuration options of the communication framework ACCL and their impact on communication latency and throughput. Finally, we use our findings to implement a shallow water simulation whose scalability heavily depends on low-latency communication. With a suitable configuration of ACCL, good scaling behavior can be shown to all 48 FPGAs installed in the system.

The intensive computation and bandwidth demand for ERI evaluation presents a significant challenge for quantum-mechanics-based atomistic simulations with hybrid density functional theory: due to the tens of trillions of ERI computations in each time step, practical applications are usually limited to thousands of atoms. In this work, we propose SERI, a high-throughput streaming accelerator for ERI computation on HBM-based FPGAs. In contrast to prior buffer-based designs, SERI proposes a novel streaming architecture to address the on-chip buffer limitation and the floorplanning challenge, and leverages the high-bandwidth memory to overcome the bandwidth bottleneck in prior designs. Moreover, to meet the varying computation, bandwidth, and floorplanning requirements between the 55 canonical quartet classes in ERI calculation, we design an automation tool, together with an accurate performance model, to automatically customize the architecture and floorplanning strategy for each canonical quartet class to maximize their throughput. Our performance evaluation on the AMD/Xilinx Alveo U280 FPGA board shows that, SERI achieves an average speedup of 9.80 x over the previous best-performing FPGA design, a 3.21x speedup over a 64-core AMD EPYC 7713 CPU, and a 15.64x speedup over an Nvidia A40 GPU. It reaches a peak throughput of 23.8 GERIS ($10^9$ ERIs per second) on one Alveo U280 FPGA.

However, the utilization of their network capabilities is often challenging and error-prone because the whole network stack and communication patterns have to be implemented and managed on the FPGAs. Also, this approach conceptually involves a trade-off between the performance potential of improved communication and the impact of resource consumption for communication infrastructure, since the utilized resources on the FPGAs could otherwise be used for computations. In this work, we investigate this trade-off, firstly, by using synthetic benchmarks to evaluate the different configuration options of the communication framework ACCL and their impact on communication latency and throughput. Finally, we use our findings to implement a shallow water simulation whose scalability heavily depends on low-latency communication. With a suitable configuration of ACCL, good scaling behavior can be shown to all 48 FPGAs installed in the system.

This was done by accelerating the core operation of the process with an efficient FPGA design that outperforms an optimized 64-core CPU reference by 95x. The FPGA execution was parallelized on the Noctua 2 supercomputer at Paderborn University. The resulting value for D(9) is 286386577668298411128469151667598498812366. This value can be verified in two steps. We have made the data file containing the 490 M results available, each of which can be verified separately on CPU, and the whole file sums to our proposed value. The paper explains the mathematical approach in the first part, before putting the focus on a deep dive into the FPGA accelerator implementation followed by a performance analysis. The FPGA implementation was done in Register-Transfer Level using a dual-clock architecture and shows how we achieved an impressive FMax of 450 MHz on the targeted Stratix 10 GX 2,800 FPGAs. The total compute time used was 47,000 FPGA hours.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"ACM Transactions on Reconfigurable Technology and Systems"},{"date_updated":"2025-11-04T09:53:59Z","publisher":"ACM","date_created":"2024-04-15T07:41:21Z","author":[{"last_name":"Olgu","full_name":"Olgu, Kaan","first_name":"Kaan"},{"first_name":"Tobias","full_name":"Kenter, Tobias","id":"3145","last_name":"Kenter"},{"last_name":"Nunez-Yanez","full_name":"Nunez-Yanez, Jose","first_name":"Jose"},{"full_name":"Mcintosh-Smith, Simon","last_name":"Mcintosh-Smith","first_name":"Simon"}],"title":"Optimisation and Evaluation of Breadth First Search with oneAPI/SYCL on Intel FPGAs: from Describing Algorithms to Describing Architectures","doi":"10.1145/3648115.3648134","quality_controlled":"1","publication_status":"published","year":"2024","citation":{"ama":"Olgu K, Kenter T, Nunez-Yanez J, Mcintosh-Smith S.
