Energy Efficient Machine Learning Hardware Co-design

This  component  project  of  the  CIDR  program tackles  the  co-design  of  energy-efficient  machine  learning algorithms and hardware. Methodologies to integrate machine learning on-chip for distributed data processing, network lifespan improvement and security will be explored. These methodologies will likewise pave the way for automated hardware generation for the accelerator needed to perform these tasks.

Activities

The project will have four (4) major activities:

1. Design and implementation WSN machine learning for clustering and routing
2. ISA-optimization of RISC-V processor for machine learning
3. Design, implementation, and verification of a proof-of-concept distributed learning in 28nm FDSOI CMOS technology.
4. Design and implementation of a proof-of-concept security module using physically unclonable functions (PUF)
