1. 21. Low-power Acceleration of Convolutional Neural Networks using Near Memory Computing on a RISC-V SoC

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

   Author : Kristoffer Westring; Linus Svensson; [2023]
   Keywords : FPGA; ASIC; Near Memory Computing; RISC-V; Convolutional Neural Network; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The recent peak in interest for artificial intelligence, partly fueled by language models such as ChatGPT, is pushing the demand for machine learning and data processing in everyday applications, such as self-driving cars, where low latency is crucial and typically achieved through edge computing. The vast amount of data processing required intensifies the existing performance bottleneck of the data movement. READ MORE

3. 22. The Rise and Fall of the First Feminist Foreign Policy : Understanding Sweden’s Unprecedented Policy Approach Between 2014 – 2022 and the Role of Norm Entrepreneurship
