A programmable, energy-efficient analog hardware implementation of a multilayer perceptron (MLP) is presented featuring a highly programmable system that offers the user the capability to create an MLP neural network hardware design within the available framework. In addition to programmability, this implementation provides energy-efficient operation via analog/mixed-signal design. The configurable system is made up of 12 neurons and is fabricated in a standard 130 nm CMOS process occupying approximately 1 mm2 of on-chip area. The system architecture is analyzed in several different configurations with each achieving a power efficiency of greater than 1 tera-operations per watt. This work offers an energy-efficient and scalable alternative to digital configurable neural networks that can be built upon to create larger networks capable of standard machine learning applications, such as image and text classification. This research details a programmable hardware implementation of an MLP that achieves a peak power efficiency of 5.23 tera-operations per watt while consuming considerably less power than comparable digital and analog designs. This paper describes circuit elements that can readily be scaled up at the system level to create a larger neural network architecture capable of improved energy efficiency.

Light Fidelity (LiFi) technology has gained attention and is growing rapidly today. Utilizing light as a propagation medium allows LiFi to promise a wider bandwidth than existing Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) technology and enables the implementation of cellular technology to improve bandwidth utilization. In addition, LiFi is very attractive because it can utilize lighting facilities consisting of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). A LiFi system that uses intensity modulation and direct detection requires the signal of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to have a real and non-negative value; therefore, certain adjustments must be made. The proposed methods for generating unipolar signals vary from adding a direct current, clipping the signal, superposing several unipolar signals, and hybrid methods as in DC-biased optical (DCO)-OFDM, asymmetrically clipped optical (ACO)-OFDM, layered ACO (LACO)-OFDM, and asymmetrically clipped DC-biased optical (ADO)-OFDM, respectively. In this paper, we review and compare various modulation techniques to support the implementation of LiFi systems using commercial LEDs. The main objective is to obtain a modulation technique with good energy efficiency, efficient spectrum utilization, and low computational complexity so that it is easy for us to apply it in experiments on a laboratory scale.

Structures for the evaluation of fast Fourier transforms are important components in several signal-processing applications and communication systems. Their capabilities play a key role in the performance enhancement of the whole system in which they are embedded. In this paper, a novel implementation of the discrete Fourier transform is proposed, based on a bit-slice approach and on the exploitation of the input sequence finite word length. Input samples of the sequence to be transformed are split into binary sequences and each one is Fourier transformed using only complex sums. An FPGA-based solution characterized by low latency and low power consumption is designed. Simulations have been carried out, first in the Matlab environment, then emulated in Quartus IDE with Intel. The hardware implementation of the conceived system and the test for the functional accuracy verification have been performed, adopting the DE2-115 development board from Terasic, which is equipped with the Cyclone IV EP4CE115F29C7 FPGA by Intel.

New mission-critical applications, such as autonomous vehicles and life-support systems, set a high bar for the reliability of modern microprocessors that operate in highly challenging conditions. However, while cutting-edge integrated circuit (IC) technologies have intensified microprocessors by providing remarkable reductions in the silicon area and power consumption, they also introduce new reliability challenges through the complex design rules they impose, creating a significant hurdle in the design process. In this paper, we focus on electromigration (EM), which is a crucial factor impacting IC reliability. EM refers to the degradation process of IC metal nets when used for both power supply and interconnecting signals. Typically, EM concerns have been addressed at the backend, circuit, and layout levels, where EM rules are enforced assuming extreme conditions to identify and resolve violations. This study presents new techniques that leverage architectural features to mitigate the effect of EM on the memory hierarchy of modern microprocessors. Architectural approaches can reduce the complexity of solving EM-related violations, and they can also complement and enhance common existing methods. In this study, we present a comprehensive simulation analysis that demonstrates how the proposed solution can significantly extend the lifetime of a microprocessor’s memory hierarchy with minimal overhead in terms of performance, power, and area while relaxing EM design efforts.

This paper presents a multiplexer-based extended range multi-modulus divider (ER-MMD) technique for multi-band phase locked loop (PLL). The architecture maintains a modular structure by using conventional 2/3 divider cells and a multiplexer without adding any extra logic circuitry. The area and power overhead is minimal. The 2/3 divider cells are designed using true single phase clock (TSPC) logic for ER-MMD to operate in the sub-10 GHz range. A division range of 2 to 511 is achieved using this logic. The ER-MMD operates at a maximum frequency of 6 GHz with a worst-case current of 625 μA when powered with a 1 V supply. A dual voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), L5/S band PLL for Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) application is designed, which incorporates an ER-MMD based on the proposed approach as a proof of concept. This technique achieves the best power efficiency of 12 GHz/mW, among the state-of-the-art ER-MMD designs.

Semantic segmentation is a machine learning task that is seeing increased utilization in multiple fields, from medical imagery to land demarcation and autonomous vehicles. A real-time autonomous system must be lightweight while maintaining reasonable accuracy. This research focuses on leveraging the fusion of long-wave infrared (LWIR) imagery with visual spectrum imagery to fill in the inherent performance gaps when using visual imagery alone. This approach culminated in the Fast Thermal Fusion Network (FTFNet), which shows marked improvement over the baseline architecture of the Multispectral Fusion Network (MFNet) while maintaining a low footprint.

A contactless position sensor based on an array of magnetically coupled resonators and an external single coil cell is discussed for both stationary and dynamic applications. The simple structure allows the sensor to be adapted to the system in which it is installed and can be used to detect the positions of objects in motion that bear an external resonator coil that does not necessitate a supply. By exploiting the unique behaviour of the array input impedance, it is possible to identify the position of the external resonator by exciting the first array cell with an external voltage source and measuring the resulting input current. The system is robust and suitable for application in harsh environments. The sensitivity of the measured input impedance to the space variation is adjustable with the definition of the array geometry and is analysed. Different configurations of the array and external resonator are considered, and the effects of various termination conditions and the resulting factor of merit after changing the coil resistance are discussed. The proposed procedure is numerically validated for an array of ten identical magnetically coupled resonators with 15 cm side lengths. Simulations carried out for a distance of up to 20 cm show that, with a quality factor lower than 100 and optimal terminations of both the array and external coil, it is possible to detect the position of the latter.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been incredibly effective for object detection tasks. YOLOv4 is a state-of-the-art object detection algorithm designed for embedded systems. It is based on YOLOv3 and has improved accuracy, speed, and robustness. However, deploying CNNs on embedded systems such as Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is difficult due to their limited resources. To address this issue, FPGA-based CNN architectures have been developed to improve the resource utilization of CNNs, resulting in improved accuracy and speed. This paper examines the use of General Matrix Multiplication Operations (GEMM) to accelerate the execution of YOLOv4 on embedded systems. It reviews the most recent GEMM implementations and evaluates their accuracy and robustness. It also discusses the challenges of deploying YOLOv4 on autonomous vehicle datasets. Finally, the paper presents a case study demonstrating the successful implementation of YOLOv4 on an Intel Arria 10 embedded system using GEMM.

Tuberculosis (TB) has long been recognized as a significant health concern worldwide. Recent advancements in noninvasive wearable devices and machine learning (ML) techniques have enabled rapid and cost-effective testing for the real-time detection of TB. However, small datasets are often encountered in biomedical and chemical engineering domains, which can hinder the success of ML models and result in overfitting issues. To address this challenge, we propose various data preprocessing methods and ML approaches, including long short-term memory (LSTM), convolutional neural network (CNN), Gramian angular field-CNN (GAF-CNN), and multivariate time series with MinCutPool (MT-MinCutPool), for classifying a small TB dataset consisting of multivariate time series (MTS) sensor signals. Our proposed methods are compared with state-of-the-art models commonly used in MTS classification (MTSC) tasks. We find that lightweight models are more appropriate for small-dataset problems. Our experimental results demonstrate that the average performance of our proposed models outperformed the baseline methods in all aspects. Specifically, the GAF-CNN model achieved the highest accuracy of 0.639 and the highest specificity of 0.777, indicating its superior effectiveness for MTSC tasks. Furthermore, our proposed MT-MinCutPool model surpassed the baseline MTPool model in all evaluation metrics, demonstrating its viability for MTSC tasks.
