A novel route to secure and low-power accelerators for edge computing

Abstract

A novel route to secure and low-power accelerators for edge computing Dr. Fabio Pavanello, Researcher at CNRS/CROMA Laboratory, guides us through a novel route to secure and low-power accelerators for edge computing, or in other words, the NEUROPULS approach. The current exponential increase of devices at the edge demands ever-growing performance to process vast amounts of locally generated data daily. Specialised hardware solutions are under investigation to achieve ultra-low-power computation while being lightweight, cost-effective, and commercially scalable. Additionally, such solutions shall also be highly secure, e.g., for data integrity and confidentiality, and, depending on the application, should provide extremely low latencies, e.g., in safety-critical scenarios (autonomous driving, healthcare, aviation, etc.).
