Balancing of Coupled Piezoelectric NEMS Resonators

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Damien Maillard, Johannes Mathis Valentin Lemonde

Micro and Nano Electro Mechanical systems (M/NEMS) have a lot of potential to be used for sensing in different schemes and operation modes. We focus here on the use of coupled resonators for sensing and address the major limitation that these systems face, ...

System-level Design of Adaptive Wearable Sensors for Health and Wellness Monitoring

Elisabetta De Giovanni

In recent years, population aging and the consequent higher incidence of noncommunicable diseases, have increased the need for long-term health monitoring. Moreover, as healthcare cost is projected to grow substantially by 2030 in OECD countries, the deman ...

Equinox: Training (for Free) on a Custom Inference Accelerator

Babak Falsafi, Ahmet Caner Yüzügüler, Mario Paulo Drumond Lages De Oliveira, Arash Pourhabibi Zarandi, Louis Coulon, Martin Jaggi

DNN inference accelerators executing online services exhibit low average loads because of service demand variability, leading to poor resource utilization. Unfortunately, reclaiming idle inference cycles is difficult as other workloads can not execute on a ...

A method for faster application of process integration techniques in retrofit situations

Tuong-Van Nguyen

Numerous process integration techniques were proved to be highly effective for identifying and estimating potential energy savings in the industry. However, they require high time and effort to collect and analyse process data. As a result, they do not con ...

The structural connectome and motor recovery after stroke: predicting natural recovery

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Philip Egger, Elena Beanato, Gabriel Girard, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Philipp Johannes Koch, Giorgia Giulia Evangelista, Chang-Hyun Park

Stroke patients vary considerably in terms of outcomes: some patients present ‘natural’ recovery proportional to their initial impairment (fitters), while others do not (non-fitters). Thus, a key challenge in stroke rehabilitation is to identify individual ...

ColTraIn: Co-located DNN training and inference

Mario Paulo Drumond Lages De Oliveira

Deep neural network inference accelerators are deployed at scale to accommodate online services, but face low average load because of service demand variability, leading to poor resource utilization. Unfortunately, reclaiming inference idle cycles is diffi ...
