Sparse matrix operations on FPGAs have gained much attention. Since sparse matrix operations are memory-bounded, the hardware efficiency depends on hardware-aware data organization and dedicated hardware design. On the one side, sparse matrices are stored in the off-chip DDR and are transferred to t...
