Transformer models optimized for jet tagging on AMD Versal AI Engine

Researchers have developed a method to deploy transformer models for jet tagging on the AMD Versal AI Engine, a component of the Large Hadron Collider's trigger system. This approach quantizes the models to use only integers and maps dense and multi-head attention layers to the AI Engine tiles. The project also includes a reusable software framework that allows transformer layers to be represented as composable AI Engine building blocks, automatically generating Vitis graph code from a Python description. This framework is available as open-source software. AI

IMPACT Enables deployment of advanced AI models in specialized, low-latency scientific computing environments.

    Reconfigurable Computing Challenge: Transformer for Jet Tagging on Versal AI Engines

    Transformer-based models achieve strong performance for jet tagging at the CERN LHC, but deploying them in low-latency, resource-constrained trigger systems is challenging. We present an initial implementation of a quantized, integer-only transformer for jet tagging on the AMD Ve…
