Neural network partitioning for resource-limited environments

The demand for implementing neural networks on edge devices has rapidly increased as they allow designers to move away from expensive server-grade hardware. However, due to the limited resources available on edge devices, it is challenging to implement complex neural networks. This study selected the Kria SoM KV260 hardware platform due to its...

Performance Improvement of Optical Algorithms on Multicore Platforms

ASML is one of the world's largest suppliers of lithography systems for the semiconductor industry. ASML designs and develops machines that are used to print circuits on silicon wafers, to produce IC chips. These circuits have to be printed with accuracy of up to 2nm. For this purpose, the machines incorporate several measurement systems. The...

Implementation and Evaluation of Packed-SIMD Instructions for a RISC-V Processor

With the increase in the amount of data being gathered, the need for data processing is also rising. Furthermore, in addition to the proprietary ISAs that have been prevalent, the free and open RISC-V ISA has seen major interest. The modularity of the RISC-V ISA allows it to be extended with many instruction set extensions. One such extension...
