Abstract

Gigantic rates of data production in the era of Big Data, Internet of Thing (IoT), and Smart Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) pose incessantly escalating demands for massive data processing, storage, and transmission while continuously interacting with the physical world using edge sensors and actuators. For IoT systems, there is now a strong trend to move the intelligence from the cloud to the edge or the extreme edge (known as TinyML). Yet, this shift to edge AI systems requires to design powerful machine learning systems under very strict resource constraints. This poses a difficult design task that needs to take the complete system stack from machine learning algorithm, to model optimization and compression, to software implementation, to hardware platform and ML accelerator design into account. This paper discusses the open research challenges to achieve such a holistic Design Space Exploration for a HW/SW Co-design for Edge AI Systems and discusses the current state with three currently developed flows: one design flow for systems with tightly-coupled accelerator architectures based on RISC-V, one approach using loosely-coupled, application-specific accelerators as well as one framework that integrates software and hardware optimization techniques to built efficient Deep Neural Network (DNN) systems.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
