    Description

    Repository for DICE design tools explorations.

    Topics include:

    • Programming strategies for spacial computing
    • Reconfiguration strategies for DICE pieces
      • CAM tools and path planing:
        • Desktop (external) assembler
        • Swarm assembly and manipulation

    Hardware Architecture Inference

    Probabilistic Programming

      • other tasks
    • WebPPL: probabilistic programming for the web
    • Probabilistic Graphical Models

    In order to map the hardware architecture to an input dataflow program or computation graph, I modeled the hardware and software models as probabilistic graphical model, and used probabilistic programming to infer the best hardware architecture choices that will optimize the speed, energy and cost of the system.

    I used WebPPL a probabilistic programming language in javascript. I model the variables I want to infer as if they come from different types of distributions that integrate our priors in them. In the following example I am using markov chain monte carlo as an inference method.

    The demo lives here.

    The structure of the probabilistic program looks like this:
