While there exist many ways to deploy machine learning models on microcontrollers, it is non-trivial to choose the optimal combination of frameworks and targets for a given application.

Thus, automating the end-to-end benchmarking flow is of high relevance nowadays. MLonMCU allows performing complex benchmarks of edge ML workloads, frameworks and targets with minimal efforts

TRL5: Versuchsaufbau in vereinfachter Einsatzumgebung --> Optimierte Plattform

The SpiNNedge accelerator is designed for ultra-low-power processing and classification of time series from sensors in real time. It combines DSP functions for data preprocessing and feature extraction (frequency transforms, windowing, filtering, logarithm) with classification based on recurrent neural networks (RNN). The RNN module exploits sparsity for significantly reduced storage and processing effort. The accelerator performs individual processing layers autonomously. Complex layers can be flexibly assembled from base operations via a global control module.

The HighRel Multiprocessor is a Pulpissimo-based quad-core processing system that is specifically built to withstand the harsh environments as they occur in avionics or astronautics. Based on the required processing power as well as different health and environmental monitors, the system is able to autonomously configure itself to various states of fault tolerance (DMR, TMR or QMR) or performance (low power or high performance).

The CHIPS Verification Framework is a collection of tools and libraries for (formal) hardware design verification. The framework encompasses two subprojects:

CHIPS: Chisel Hardware Property Specification Language

The foundation of the CHIPS-VF is a domain-specific language (DSL) embedded in Scala that allows the specification of lightweight verification properties on different levels of abstraction using the assertion-based verification paradigm.
