AI-VLSI Glossary

Shared vocabulary across ML, accelerator architecture, and EDA integration.

Terms to use precisely

  • Tensor: multidimensional array carrying model inputs/weights/activations.

  • Operational intensity: arithmetic work per byte moved, core roofline axis.

  • Quantization: reduced numeric precision for efficient inference deployment.

  • Dataflow: mapping strategy for data reuse in accelerator execution.

  • Surrogate model: faster approximation of expensive EDA analyses.

  • Calibration: alignment between predicted confidence and observed accuracy.

  • Drift: statistical shift between training and production data/behavior.
