Algorithm Optimization And Hardware Acceleration For Machine Learning Applications On Low-Energy Systems, Jianchi Sun Aug 2022

Algorithm Optimization And Hardware Acceleration For Machine Learning Applications On Low-Energy Systems, Jianchi Sun

All Dissertations

Machine learning (ML) has been extensively employed for strategy optimization, decision making, data classification, etc. While ML shows great triumph in its application field, the increasing complexity of the learning models introduces neoteric challenges to the ML system designs. On the one hand, the applications of ML on resource-restricted terminals, like mobile computing and IoT devices, are prevented by the high computational complexity and memory requirement. On the other hand, the massive parameter quantity for the modern ML models appends extra demands on the system's I/O speed and memory size. This dissertation investigates feasible solutions for those challenges with software-hardware …


Miniaturized Battery Powered Air Quality Monitoring System, Bryan Chacon Aug 2022

Miniaturized Battery Powered Air Quality Monitoring System, Bryan Chacon

All Theses

In this work, an air quality monitoring system was developed using various sensors that measure specific air quality parameters, including Volatile Organic Compounds, Carbon Dioxide, particulate matter of varying sizes, ambient pressure, humidity, and temperature. This system is based off a Particle micro-controller, Boron LTE CAT-M1 which allows for cellular connectivity for real-time data transmission. It is powered by a 3.7 Volt Li-Po battery and has a miniaturized design which allows for portability. This data is processed through an Internet of Things software provider that allows for the device to be connected and accessed to and from anywhere in the …
