DxPTA: An Architecture Design Space Exploration with Optical Dataflow-guided Strategy for HW/SW Co-Design of Photonic Transformer Accelerators
Researchers introduce DxPTA, a design space exploration methodology for optimizing photonic transformer accelerators (PTAs) through hardware/software co-design. The approach automatically identifies optimal PTA architectures for AI models like DeiT and BERT while meeting area, power, energy, and latency constraints, achieving 15.2x faster design exploration than exhaustive methods.
