PROFILE

Makoeppel

Over a two-month period, contributed to the fastmachinelearning/hls4ml repository by delivering two major features focused on FPGA and deep learning model deployment. Extended clone streaming capabilities to support up to seven outputs across Catapult, OneAPI, Quartus, and Vivado backends, updating both Python and C++ components to improve multi-output neural network synthesis. Later, implemented QKeras v3 compatibility, adding new layer handlers, comprehensive tests, and documentation to streamline deployment of quantized models. Emphasized maintainability by refining code structure and test coverage. Work demonstrated strong backend development, high-level synthesis, and Python expertise, with a focus on robust, cross-backend functionality and future-proof integration.

May 2025: Delivered an extension to clone streaming in hls4ml to support up to 7 outputs across Catapult, OneAPI, Quartus, and Vivado backends. The work increased the maximum clone count in the clone.py pass, added new clone_stream overloads in the backend C++ template headers, and included regression tests validating the extended functionality. This enhancement improves model cloning scalability in FPGA synthesis workflows, enabling more flexible multi-output deployments with consistent behavior across backends, reducing manual rework and accelerating time-to-market for multi-output neural network models.
