In the past few years, domain-specific accelerators (DSAs), such as Google's Tensor Processing Units, have shown to offer significant performance and energy efficiency over general-purpose CPUs. An important question is whether typical software developers can design and implement their own customized DSAs, with affordability and efficiency, to accelerate their applications. This article presents our answer to this question.
