Reducing Instruction-Fetch Energy in RISC-V for Embedded AI Processing via Dynamic and Static Loop Caching
Wiebren Wijnstra, Sameed Sohail, Berend-Jan van der Zwaag +2
Embedded RISC-V processors are increasingly deployed for on-device AI inference at the edge, where energy efficiency is a primary design constraint. Instruction fetching from SRAM-…

The Sparsity Tax: Weight Sparsity Trade-offs in Event-Driven SIMD and SIMT Neuromorphic Cores
Mattias Westerink, Sameed Sohail, Berend-Jan van der Zwaag +2
Event-driven neuromorphic inference exploits activation sparsity by updating neuron state only on spikes. However, weight sparsity introduces irregular gather-style updates that un…
