Distributed Inference over Decision Tree Ensembles on Clusters of FPGAs

Given the growth in data inputs and application complexity, it is often the case that a single hardware accelerator is not enough to solve a given problem. In particular, the computational demands and I/O of many tasks in machine learning often require a cluster of accelerators to make a relevant difference in performance. In this article, we explore the efficient construction of FPGA clusters using inference over Decision Tree Ensembles as the...
