Deep learning (DL) technology has made breakthroughs in a wide range of intelligent tasks such as vision, language, recommendation systems, etc. Sparse matrix multiplication (SpMM) is the key computation kernel of most sparse models. Conventional computing platforms such as CPUs, GPUs, and AI chips with regular processing units are unable to effectively support sparse computation due to their fixed structure and instruction sets. This work extends Sparkle, an accelerator architecture, which is developed specifically for processing SpMM in DL. During the balanced data loading process, some modifications are implemented to enhance the flexibility of the Sparkle architecture. Additionally, a Sparkle generator is proposed to accommodate diverse resource constraints and facilitate adaptable deployment. Leveraging Sparkle’s structural parameters and template-based design methods, the generator enables automatic Sparkle circuit generation under varying parameters. An instantiated Sparkle accelerator is implemented on the Xilinx xqvu11p FPGA platform with a specific configuration. Compared to the state-of-the-art SpMM accelerator SIGMA, the Sparkle accelerator instance improves the sparse computing efficiency by about 10 to 20 \(\%\) . Furthermore, the Sparkle instance achieved 7.76 \(\times\) higher performance over the Nvidia Orin NX GPU. More instances of accelerators with different parameters were evaluated, demonstrating that the Sparkle architecture can effectively accelerate SpMM.
