EdgeLLM: Bringing LLMs to Resource-Constrained Devices

A CPU-FPGA hybrid solution enabling efficient edge deployment

EdgeLLM addresses the challenge of deploying Large Language Models on computationally limited edge devices by creating an efficient heterogeneous accelerator architecture.

  • Integrates specialized CPU-FPGA heterogeneous design optimized for LLM workloads
  • Introduces custom computational optimization techniques to reduce resource requirements
  • Implements innovative compilation strategies to handle diverse operator types
  • Enables deployment in resource-constrained environments like robotics and IoT devices

This engineering breakthrough significantly expands where LLMs can operate by removing traditional computational barriers, making sophisticated AI capabilities accessible in edge computing scenarios without requiring cloud connectivity.
