Conventional methods only aim to improve the total accuracy and do not consider achieving the given level of accuracy for each task. The proposed method aims to improve the ratio of tasks that can satisfy the given level of accuracy by balancing the load among edge servers as much as possible. In order to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method, we set the given level of task accuracy and evaluate the total accuracy by varying the number of VMs present in the system. The evaluation results show that the proposed method improves the number of VMs satisfying the given level of accuracy by 120% and the total accuracy by up to approximately 13% compared to the case without VM migration.","PeriodicalId":518694,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics (ICCE)","volume":"66 2","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our model leverages the noise modeling capabilities of diffusion processes to generate low light images with accurate noise, blurring, and color distortions. We make the following key contributions: (1) We develop a novel N2LDiff model that can generate varied low light images from the same normal light input via diffusion processes. (2) We introduce a new benchmark for low light image synthesis using existing datasets. (3) Leveraging N2LDiff, we construct a large-scale low light dataset.

Applying this framework to home appliances makes it possible to calibrate low-cost sensors with inference speeds comparable to linear models while achieving accuracies similar to those of deep learning models. Specifically, the framework offers a selection of three different model variants, each considering factors such as implementation difficulty, calibration accuracy, or inference speed.

Especially, stencil computation, which is a commonly-used computing pattern for scientific and engineering simulations, is known to have a high degree of affinity with FPGAs. In practical simulations, data reduction methods, such as the building cube method (BCM), are often utilized to balance computation accuracy and speed. However, such techniques tend to introduce irregular memory access patterns, making it a tough task for application programmers to implement efficient memory access hardware units in FPGAs. In this paper, we propose a design framework for stencil computation with BCM, enabling application programmers to focus on algorithm implementation without being aware of memory access optimization. We implement the framework on an Intel FPGA PAC D5005 platform, to evaluate its effectiveness in terms of resource utilization, execution time, and throughput. As for resource utilization, it was confirmed that the area overhead of the proposed BCM framework is small enough, leaving sufficient resource space for user applications. The performance evaluation results revealed that the measured throughput of the BCM framework deteriorated by more than 90% compared to non-BCM execution due to irregular memory access patterns. However, since the number of cells to be computed in BCM is significantly reduced, the final computation speed was improved by up to 28 times, indicating that the reduction in the throughput is acceptable.","PeriodicalId":518694,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics (ICCE)","volume":"3 4","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
