hls4ml tutorials

[Charles-Etienne Granger]

Greetings !

Our research group is looking for using hls4ml long term and we have a question regarding the tutorials at https://github.com/fastmachinelearning/hls4ml-tutorial

 

Is there a way to use vitis_hls with vivado 2020 with those tutorials? As the tutorials seem to use vivado_hls that comes with vivado 2019.

 

Thank you for your time and have a nice day!

Hello Charles

Thank you for your interest.  At the moment, we are supporting Vivado and in the processing of migrating support to Vitis, though in early stages.  Please let us know if you have any other questions or comments.

Best

Nhan

Hello Nhan,

It’s nice to know that Vitis will be supported !

We have a problem with the tutorial container. Once at the Synthesis step, it says that the vivado HLS installation is not found.

 

Here’s what I did :

I’ve setup a vm with vivado_hls 2019.2 installed on /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2019.2/bin/

I’ve sourced the settings64.sh script to make sur that vivado_hls was in the PATH variable.

I’ve tried to simply type “vivado_hls” in the terminal and the app starts.

 

Is there anything else that I need to setup for the tutorial to be functional ?

 

Cheers,

 

Charles-Etienne Granger

Hi,

I didn't follow completely: did you create the Docker container from the instructions on the github? (https://github.com/fastmachinelearning/hls4ml-tutorial#docker). Or are you trying to run directly on the VM you created?

The Docker image specified in the dockerfile there doesn't install Vivado into the image, since it was a bit tricky to make that portable. Your options are:

1) mount the directory where Vivado is installed on your VM onto the Docker container (add '-v /opt/Xilinx:/opt/Xilinx' to the 'docker run' command)

2) install conda, the tutorial conda environment, and run the notebooks directly on your VM (skip Docker)

3) install Vivado into the docker image. It's a bit awkward, but I can provide an example of how to do it if you'd like

I hope that helps, but let me know if you need more details.

Thanks,

Sioni

Sorry for the extra noise... 

A 4th option is that you should be able to pull the built image which does contain Vivado:

docker pull gitlab-registry.cern.ch/ssummers/hls4ml-tutorial:11.v

It's a 20GB or so download, but it should contain everything you need.

Thanks,

Sioni

Hi Sioni,

 

Thank you for the help on this matter and sorry for taking so long to answer as the emails went directly into my spam folder.

I’ll be trying out the fixes you proposed this week and I’ll let you know what worked (or didn’t if I still have troubles 😉).

Thanks again and have an excellent day.

Hi again!

I just wanted to share that both dockers method worked for me!

I haven’t tried to just run the notebooks.

Thank you very much for your answer and have a great day.

 

Best regards,
