Embedded Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets) are driving the evolution of ubiquitous systems that can sense and understand the environment autonomously. Due to their high complexity, aggressive compression is needed to meet the specifications of...
Floating-point multipliers have been the key component of nearly all forms of modern computing systems. Most data-intensive applications, such as deep neural networks (DNNs), expend the majority of their resources and energy budget for floating-point...
Recently, the Logic-in-Memory (LiM) concept has been widely studied in the literature. This paradigm represents one of the most efficient ways to solve the limitations of a Von Neumann’s architecture: by placing simple logic circuits inside or...
The energy of real-time systems for embedded usage needs to be efficient without affecting the system’s ability to meet task deadlines. Dynamic body bias (BB) scaling is a promising approach to managing leakage energy and operational speed, esp...
A fully-integrated switched-capacitor (SC) DC-DC converter that steps down 2.0 V to 0.9 V with a peak efficiency of 80% is implemented in a 0.18
The wireless sensor nodes used in a growing number of remote sensing applications are deployed in inaccessible locations or are subjected to severe energy constraints. Audio-based sensing offers flexibility in node placement and is popular in low-pow...
The editorial team greatly appreciates the reviewers who have dedicated their considerable time and expertise to the journal’s rigorous editorial process over the past 12 months, regardless of whether the papers are finally published or not [...]
In this study, threshold voltage instability on commercial silicon carbide (SiC) power metal oxide semiconductor field electric transistor MOSFETs was evaluated using devices manufactured from two different manufacturers. The characterization process...
PH measurements are widely used in agriculture, biomedical engineering, the food industry, environmental studies, etc. Several healthcare and biomedical research studies have reported that all aqueous samples have their pH tested at some point in the...
Due to the huge requirements in terms of both computational and memory capabilities, implementing energy-efficient and high-performance Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) by exploiting embedded systems still represents a major challenge for hardwar...
