Cheshire: A Lightweight, Linux-Capable RISC-V Host Platform for Domain-Specific Accelerator Plug-In
Power and cost constraints in the internet-of-things (IoT) extreme-edge and
TinyML domains, coupled with increasing performance requirements, motivate a
trend toward heterogeneous architectures. These designs use energy-efficient
application-class host processors to coordinate compute-specialized multicore
accelerators, amortizing the architectural costs of operating system support
and external communication. This…
