ESSR: An 8K@30FPS Super-Resolution Accelerator With Edge Selective Network
Abstract:
Deep learning-based super-resolution (SR) is challenging to implement in resource-constrained edge devices for resolutions beyond full HD due to its high computational complexity and memory bandwidth requirements. This paper introduces an 8K@30FPS SR accelerator with edge-selective dynamic input processing. Dynamic processing chooses the appropriate subnets for different patches based on simple input edge criteria, achieving a 50% MAC reduction with only a 0.1dB PSNR decrease. The quality of reconstruction images is guaranteed and maximized its potential with resource adaptive model switching even under resource constraints. In conjunction with hardware-specific refinements, the model size is reduced by 84% to 51K, but with a decrease of less than 0.6dB PSNR. Additionally, to support dynamic processing with high utilization, this design incorporates a configurable group of layer mapping that synergizes with the structure-friendly fusion block, resulting in 77% hardware utilization and up to 79% reduction in feature SRAM access. The implementation, using the TSMC 28nm process, can achieve 8K@30FPS throughput at 800MHz with a gate count of 2749K, 0.2075W power consumption, and 4797Mpixels/J energy efficiency, exceeding previous work.
