Abstract

On-chip Hardware Realization of Key Auxiliary Circuits Used in AI Edge Systems

The biggest challenge of artificial intelligence (AI) development and applications today is the power dissipation increases drastically as the demanded computation intensity increases exponentially. This fact is a serious issue for those battery-operated devices, namely AI edge devices, which may have limited energy resources. This report manages to introduce two key sub-systems needed in AI edges to reduce the possible power dissipation, namely accelerator and CIM.  In addition, the prototyping of an optical-based MAC core for future PNN is also introduced to carry out the intensive convolution computation, which might be another alternative to realize power-effective AI edge systems.

Description

This talk will take place on 17 April 2024 at 9:00 AM EDT (-4:00 UTC) and features a talk by Prof. Chua-Chin Wang, titled "On-chip Hardware Realization of Key Auxiliary Circuits Used in AI Edge Systems".

Registration for this series is entirely free and will be limited to the first 1,000 registrants per event. If you cannot register, you can also attend the webinar via LinkedIn Live. Following the webinar, the recording will be available on the CASS Resource Center and as a lesson in the CASS Microlearning (CASS MiLe) e-learning platform. In CASS MiLe, interested practitioners can learn through short didactic units (micro-lessons) with practical questions, and upon lesson completion, learners receive digital badges/certificates.
