Researchers accelerate sparse inference on XNNPack and TensorFlow Lite for realtime apps Mar 10, 2021 01:20 EST with 0 comments As proved by the Universal Approximation Theorem, neural networks can learn any arbitrary function. This allows us to capture hidden patterns in data to make more accurate and robust models for a wide variety of tasks. However, a big caveat in this process is that neural networks tend to grow quickly as the parameters (or complexity) of the task at hand increases. Naturally, these large neural networks require substantial computational pow...

AI: how low can you go? Markets are subject to fads and the embedded-control sector is far from immune to them. In the 1990s, fuzzy logic seemed to be the way forward and microcontroller (MCU) vendors scrambled to put support into their offerings only to see it flame out. Embedded machine learning (ML) is seeing a far bigger feeding frenzy as established MCU players and AI-acceleration start-ups try to demonstrate their commitment to the idea, which mostly goes under the banner of TinyML. Daniel Situnayake, founding TinyML engineer at software-tools company Edge Impuls...

Open Source Tools Break with Convention by Kevin Morris The walled fortress is a time honored tradition in the FPGA business. Since the beginning of FPGA time, vendors of programmable logic silicon have kept a tight grip on the tool chains that are used to program their devices. If you want to do anything with a vendor’s chips, you need the vendor’s tools and the vendor’s rules. The only exceptions have been close partnerships between FPGA companies and EDA companies to provide key bits of technology that the vendor either couldn’t or didn’t feel like developing ...

Arduino, and Pi Pico, builds on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 Not only has Raspberry Pi launched its first microcontroller-class product – the RP2040, used by the Raspberry Pi Pico – but then Arduino have built on it with the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect. The RP2040 is newly developed at the Raspberry Pi Foundation and the Pi Pico builds on it (see above) as a standalone board option for embedded development or as companion piece to your Raspberry Pi computer, perhaps serving first steps with a microcontroller. Basically, we are talking about interfacing your Raspberry Pi to the outside “real�...

This is a part about ASICs from the “Hardware for Deep Learning” series. The content of the series is here. As of beginning 2021, ASICs now is the only real alternative to GPUs for 1) deep learning…
