The Objective
The goal of this project was to design and implement a comprehensive Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and Development Toolkit tailored specifically for AI-on-a-chip platforms. The solution aimed to provide a user-friendly, efficient environment that allows developers to seamlessly configure, profile, debug, and optimize AI models targeting the SoC.
By ensuring tight integration with the AI-on-a-chip platform, the IDE supports the smooth execution of critical tasks such as modifying parameters, running performance diagnostics, and visualizing AI model metrics.
Challenges
During the development process, several challenges were encountered:
1. Integration Complexity: Ensuring seamless integration between the IDE and the AI-on-a-chip platform required extensive testing and refinement.
2. Performance Optimization: Achieving the desired 100x improvement in training times necessitated meticulous optimization of the SoC architecture for parallel computations.
3. User Adaptation: Introducing a new IDE meant that some users faced a learning curve; however, familiarity with the VS Code platform helped mitigate this challenge.
