Analysis of SLAC Neural Network Library (SNL) and hls4ml for Implementing Machine Learning in Collider Trigger Systems
This research paper compares two high-level synthesis frameworks, SNL and hls4ml, for implementing machine learning algorithms on FPGAs for real-time anomaly detection in collider trigger systems, finding that while hls4ml excels in latency optimization, SNL offers greater resource efficiency, particularly for larger networks.
