FSL-HDnn: A 40-nm Few-Shot On-Device Learning Accelerator With Integrated Feature Extraction and Hyperdimensional Computing 150 150

Abstract:

This article introduces FSL-HDnn, an energy-efficient accelerator that implements the end-to-end pipeline of feature extraction (FE) and on-device few-shot learning (FSL). The accelerator addresses fundamental challenges of on-device learning (ODL) for resource-constrained edge applications through two synergistic modules: a parameter-efficient feature extractor (FE) employing weight clustering and an FSL classifier …

ROZK: An Energy-Efficient DNN Accelerator Based on Reconfigurable NoC and Local Zero-Skipping

ROZK: An Energy-Efficient DNN Accelerator Based on Reconfigurable NoC and Local Zero-Skipping 150 150

Abstract:

Zero-skipping is a famous technique to improve the energy efficiency of deep neural network (DNN) accelerators. When the zero-skipping is realized with encoded data using lossless compression, irregular and unpredictable size of data due to inconsistent compression rate incurs several design issues including: 1) load imbalance from irregularity of data stored …
