In this blog post, we will see how one can set up a ROS development environment whatever one’s operating system is. Indeed, using Multipass, an Ubuntu virtual machines’ manager, it has never been easier to quickly spawn a full-fledged VM rocking Ubuntu. Not only that, we made it so that spawning a VM with ROS pre-installed only takes a single command line. Shall we?

HitGNN is a framework that enables users to easily map GNN training workloads onto a CPU+Multi-FPGA platform for acceleration. It consists of high-level APIs, a software generator, and an accelerator generator. It achieves up to 27.21 bandwidth efficiency and 4.26 speedup using much less compute power and memory bandwidth than GPUs, and is scalable to 16 FPGAs on a CPU+Multi-FPGA platform.
