Getting Real About AI Processors


There’s a lot of confusion and hype around AI. Nearly every service, product or subject area in the technology industry now has an AI label. A lot of this is valid and there’s no doubt that AI is opening up new capabilities and higher productivity across all industries. This white paper categorises AI and related hardware options, with a particular focus on on-device (i.e. edge) AI, givi... » read more

Efficient TNN Inference on RISC-V Processing Cores With Minimal HW Overhead


A new technical paper titled "xTern: Energy-Efficient Ternary Neural Network Inference on RISC-V-Based Edge Systems" was published by researchers at ETH Zurich and Universita di Bologna. Abstract "Ternary neural networks (TNNs) offer a superior accuracy-energy trade-off compared to binary neural networks. However, until now, they have required specialized accelerators to realize their effic... » read more

Memory Devices-Based Bayesian Neural Networks For Edge AI


A new technical paper titled "Bringing uncertainty quantification to the extreme-edge with memristor-based Bayesian neural networks" was published by researchers at Université Grenoble Alpes, CEA, LETI, and CNRS. Abstract: "Safety-critical sensory applications, like medical diagnosis, demand accurate decisions from limited, noisy data. Bayesian neural networks excel at such tasks, offering... » read more
