Abstract

Image registration is a well-defined computation paradigm widely applied to align one or more images to a target image. This paradigm, which builds upon three main components, is particularly compute-intensive and represents many image processing pipelines’ bottlenecks. State-of-the-art solutions leverage hardware acceleration to speed up image registration, but they are usually limited to implementing a single component. We present Faber, an open-source HW/SW CAD toolchain tailored to image registration. The Faber toolchain comprises HW/SW highly-tunable registration components, supports users with different expertise in building custom pipelines, and automates the design process. In this direction, Faber provides both default settings for entry-level users and latency and resource models to guide HW experts in customizing the different components. Finally, Faber achieves from 1.5× to 54× in speedup and from 2× to 177× in energy efficiency against state-of-the-art tools on a Xeon Gold.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
