AbstractAs artificial intelligence (AI) expands into fields such as healthcare, robotics, and energy distribution, there is growing demand for faster, cost-effective ways to prototype AI hardware. Graphics processing units (GPUs) offer high throughput but often struggle to meet the low latency needed for real-time decisions. Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) provide lower latency but can substantially sacrifice throughput. The key challenge is mapping AI algorithms to the right accelerator. The SPE
