CODESCA: Co-Design for Spectral Clustering Acceleration
Year: 2026
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: : Spectral clustering is powerful but limited by O(N³) complexity. We present CODESCA, a co-design on Xilinx VCK190. By offloading sparse graph construction to the host and utilizing a quantization-aware block power iteration engine on FPGA, CODESCA achieves 22× speedup over CPU and 9× better throughput-per-watt than RTX 3080 GPU, enabling efficient edge data mining.
