Research Bits: Apr. 21


Compute-in-memory state space models Researchers from the University of Michigan mapped complex state space models directly onto a compute-in-memory architecture in an example of hardware-software co-design for edge AI. "Compute-in-memory systems offer very high energy efficiency and throughput, but they are rigid and not optimal for convolution and transformer networks. In this study, we s... » read more

Research Bits: Apr. 6


Reservoir computing Researchers from Loughborough University designed a memristor reservoir computing chip that can process data that changes over time directly in hardware. “Inspired by the way the human brain forms very numerous and seemingly random neuronal connections between all its neurons, we created complex, random, physical connections in an artificial neural network by designing... » read more

Scaling Ultra-Low-Power Edge Intelligence For Smart Devices


For decades, the data collection pipeline for sensors has been the exact same—measure, transmit, and process elsewhere. While it’s been a failproof method all these years, it’s also resulted in a large amount of energy consumption, meaning your smart watch could have a longer battery life. Neuronova is aiming to change things up. The company’s goal? Empowering the next generation of ... » read more
