DYNAPACE-AI: A Deadline- and Thermal-Aware Multi-Voltage VLSI Architecture for Energy-Scalable AI-Enabled Embedded Systems
Keywords:
embedded AI, VLSI accelerator, DVFS, multi-voltage domain, power gating, thermal aware computing, edge inference, energy efficiency, neural-network accelerator.Abstract
Artificial-intelligence-enabled embedded systems must meet inference deadlines while operating fromrestricted battery, power-delivery, and thermal budgets. Conventional neural-network accelerators arecommonly designed around a fixed worst-case supply voltage and frequency, causing unnecessary dynamic power and leakage whenever the instantaneous workload contains computational slac
