HLS uses optimizations to assist during design space exploration. However, some of them can introduce security weaknesses. We propose an approach that leverages static analysis to identify a class of weaknesses in HLS-generated code. We show that some of these weaknesses can be corrected through the automatic generation of HLS directives. We evaluate our approach by comparing the static analysis results with formal verification.

Recently, a black-hat HLS was presented which inserts fake operations during the scheduling process to enable battery exhaustion attack. In this letter, we present a framework to detect the fake operations inserted by a compromised HLS with the help of scheduling information provided by the tool.

Compression methods and common subexpression (CSE) elimination algorithms are applied on sparse constant matrices to deploy the models on low-cost embedded devices. However, the state-of-the-art CSE elimination methods do not scale well for handling large matrices. They reach hours for extracting CSEs in a \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$200 times 200$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 matrix while their matrix multiplication algorithms execute longer than the conventional matrix multiplication methods. Besides, there exist no compression methods for matrices utilizing CSEs. As a remedy to this problem, a random search-based algorithm is proposed in this letter to extract CSEs in the column pairs of a constant matrix.

To compress the adder tree, this letter presents a compression format by extending the compressed sparse row (CSR) to include CSEs.

This predictor can evolve to achieve higher latency prediction precision during the network compression process. Experimental results demonstrate that EvoLP outperforms previous state-of-the-art approaches by being evaluated on three edge devices and four model variants.
