3D2 processing architecture — High reliability and low power computing for novel nano tactile sensor array

Abstract

We have proposed new instrumental techniques to quantify human touch feelings by nano tactile sensor array system with 3D2 processing architecture. In the computation of quantification of human touch feelings, high-level semantics features are calculated from low-level features which are the result of FFT, wavelet translation, etc. For some application, especially medical application, high reliability is required for the recognition results. Furthermore, real-time processing and low power computing are also required. 3D2 Processing architecture provides high reliable and low power computing for the accelerator. The architecture has three features: Parallel Computation of Multiple Recognition Algorithms for High Reliability, Spatial-Parallel Temporal-Pipeline Streaming Processing for High Energy Efficiency Processing, and Current Reuse Energy Pipeline for Low Power Processing.
