As a result, they often hinder the performance of advanced autonomous and high-performance computing systems. This paper presents a fully rotatable and diagonally flexible ultra-short distance (≈ 1 mm) wireless interconnect. The proposed wireless interconnect comprises a 57-GHz transceiver integrated with a folded dipole antenna through wire bonding, enabling a flexible contactless connection. Here, two folded dipoles communicate in the Fresnel zone (radiative near-field), where we leverage the longitudinal electric fields to alleviate the polarization mismatch over the entire rotation angle. We have implemented a non-coherent on-off keying (OOK) modulation scheme and employed an automatic gain control (AGC) loop and offset canceling feedback loop to compensate for the transmission degradation and signal imbalance. The proposed system consumes 58.2 mW of power under a 1 V supply while transferring data at a rate of 10-Gb/s, achieving 5.82-pJ/bit energy efficiency.","PeriodicalId":48827,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems","volume":"14 3","pages":"551-562"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141548575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, MCMs often incur resource and performance overheads due to inter-chip communication, which largely reduce a performance gain in a scaling-out system. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a highly-scalable DNN accelerator with a lightweight chip-to-chip adapter (C2CA) and a C2C-communication-aware scheduler. Our design employs a C2CA for inter-chip communication, which accurately illustrates an MCM system with a constrained C2C bandwidth, e.g., about 1/16, 1/8, or 1/4 of an on-chip bandwidth. We empirically reveal that the limited C2C bandwidth largely affects the overall performance gain of an MCM system. For example, compared with the one-core engine, a four-chip MCM system with a constrained C2C bandwidth only achieves \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$2.60times $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000, \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$3.27times $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000, \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$2.84times $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000, and \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$2.74times $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 performance gains on ResNet50, DarkNet19, MobileNetV1, and EfficientNetS, respectively. Mitigating the problem, we propose a novel C2C-communication-aware scheduler with forward and backward inter-layer scheduling. Specifically, our scheduler effectively utilizes a C2C bandwidth while a core is performing its own computation. To demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of our concept, we modeled our design with Verilog HDL and implemented it on an FPGA board, i.e., Xilinx ZCU104. The experimental results demonstrate that the system shows significant throughput improvements compared to a single-chip configuration, yielding average enhancements of \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$1.87times $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 and \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$3.43times $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 for two-chip and four-chip configurations, respectively, on ResNet50, DarkNet19, MobileNetV1, and EfficientNetS.","PeriodicalId":48827,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems","volume":"14 3","pages":"455-468"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141522295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since network channels between some agents often suffer from intrusions by attackers during data transmission, we consider information transfers in both attack-sleep and attack-active scenarios, and construct a novel distributed observer with a switched mechanism to estimate the leader’s state information. In order to optimize system performances while ensuring that the system states do not exceed constraint sets, a new performance index function and a tan-type barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) are introduced. Besides, by employing the Pade approximation and an intermediate variable, the effect of input delay is removed. As a consequence, the proposed optimal control can smoothly steer the nonlinear MASs to realize the followers-leader consensus tracking goal, and all system states are consistently constrained within their compact sets. Finally, simulation results verify the effectiveness of this control scheme.","PeriodicalId":48827,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems","volume":"14 4","pages":"705-716"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10577119","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141508148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several approaches have been devised to handle this core computer vision problem. Kernel-based approaches use an encoder-decoder architecture to extract features from the inputs and generate weights for a local separable convolution operation which is used to warp the input frames. The warped inputs are then combined to obtain the final interpolated frame. The ease of implementation of such an approach and favourable performance have enabled it to become a popular method in the field of interpolation. One downside, however, is that the encoder-decoder feature extractor is large and uses a lot of parameters. We propose a Multi-Encoder Method for Parameter Reduction (MEMPR) that can significantly reduce parameters by up to 85% whilst maintaining a similar level of performance. This is achieved by leveraging multiple encoders to focus on different aspects of the input. The approach can also be used to improve the performance of kernel-based models in a parameter-effective manner. To encourage the adoption of such an approach in potential future kernel-based methods, the approach is designed to be modular, intuitive and easy to implement. It is implemented on some of the most impactful kernel-based works such as SepConvNet, AdaCoFNet and EDSC. Extensive experiments on datasets with varying ranges of motion highlight the effectiveness of the MEMPR approach and its generalisability to different convolutional backbones and kernel-based operators.","PeriodicalId":48827,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems","volume":"14 2","pages":"245-260"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10510388","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140826670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effective GDSR methods must not only exploit the properties of the target image but also integrate complementary information from the guidance image. The state-of-the-art in guided image super-resolution has been dominated by convolutional neural network (CNN) based methods, which leverage CNN as their architecture. However, CNN has limitations in capturing global information effectively, and their traditional regression training techniques can sometimes lead to challenges in the precise generating of high-frequency details, unlike transformers that have shown remarkable success in deep learning through the self-attention mechanism. Drawing inspiration from the transformative impact of transformers in both language and vision applications, we propose a Transformer-based Multi-modal Generative Adversarial Network dubbed TM-GAN. TM-GAN is designed to effectively process and integrate multi-modal data, leveraging the global contextual understanding and detailed feature extraction capabilities of transformers within a GAN architecture for GDSR, aiming to effectively integrate and utilize multi-modal data sources.

This work is concerned with learning-based compressed-domain image classification, where the image classification is performed directly on compressed-domain representations, also known as latent representations, that are obtained using a learning-based visual encoder. In this paper, a compressed-domain Vision Transformer (cViT) is proposed to perform image classification in the learning-based compressed-domain. For this purpose, the Vision Transformer (ViT) architecture is adopted and modified to perform classification directly in the compressed-domain. As part of this work, a novel feature patch embedding is introduced leveraging the within- and cross-channel information in the compressed-domain. Also, an adaptation training strategy is designed to adopt the weights from the pre-trained spatial-domain ViT and adapt these to the compressed-domain classification task. Furthermore, the pre-trained ViT weights are utilized through interpolation for position embedding initialization to further improve the performance of cViT. The experimental results show that the proposed cViT outperforms the existing compressed-domain classification networks in terms of Top-1 and Top-5 classification accuracies. Moreover, the proposed cViT can yield competitive classification accuracies with a significantly higher computational efficiency as compared to pixel-domain approaches.","PeriodicalId":48827,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems","volume":"14 2","pages":"299-310"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140826671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
