GraphLily is the first FPGA overlay for graph processing. GraphLily supports a rich set of graph algorithms by adopting the GraphBLAS programming interface, which formulates graph algorithms as sparse linear algebra kernels. GraphLily effectively utilizes the high bandwidth of HBM to accelerate SpMV and SpMSpV, the two widely-used kernels in GraphBLAS, by co-designing the data layout and the accelerator architecture. GraphLily further builds a middleware to provide runtime support, enabling users to easily port existing GraphBLAS programs from CPUs/GPUs to FPGAs.

- A pre-compiled bitstream (166 MHz) is provided here.
- To generate a new bitstream:
cd GraphLily/generate_bitstream
make synthesize
The input is an adjacency matrix in csr format stored as a scipy npz file. Please install cnpy, which is required for data loading.
Our ICCAD'21 paper evaluated the following six graph datasets:
Go to the GraphLily/benchmark folder, modify the cnpy path in Makefile, modify the bitstream path and the datasets path in run_bfs.sh, then:
bash run_bfs.sh
