We invite you to a free online seminar on “Bringing ML to the extreme edge: a story of co-optimizing processor architectures, scheduling and models” given by Prof. Marian Verhelst, KU Leuven, Belgium.
Deep neural network inference comes with significant computational complexity, making their execution until recently only feasible on power-hungry server or GPU platforms. The recent trend towards real-time embedded neural network processing on edge and extreme edge devices requires a thorough cross-layer optimization. The talk will analyze what impacts NN execution energy and latency. Subsequently, we will present different research lines of Prof. Verhelst’s lab exploiting and jointly optimizing NPU/TPU processor architectures, dataflow schedulers and conditional, quantized neural network models for minimum latency and maximum energy efficiency. This includes precision-scalable fully-digital designs, as well as compute-in-memory processors. Finally, this talk will make a case for more methodological design space exploration in the vast optimization space of embedded NN processors, using the ZigZag framework.
