Edge Imaging Systems: The Role of Integrated Sensing and Normally-off Computing

Abstract

With the IoT market predicted to reach $1100 billion by 2025, energy-efficient, low-latency solutions for managing massive, often unstructured data are essential. To address these challenges, we propose the Intermittent-Robust Integrated Sensing Computation (IRISC) approach. By integrating always-on sensing with normally-off computing using cross-layer post-CMOS techniques and emerging non-volatile devices, we aim to optimize resource-limited sensory nodes and ensure intermittent-robust computation during power failures. This talk will explore these challenges and our innovative approach for more efficient and reliable IoT systems.
