In this paper, we present an architecture for a scalable, efficient, realtime intra H.264 video encoder implemented on an FPGA. Our architecture was designed to achieve a through-put of up to 2.3 Gbit/s using a parallel and pipelined architecture described in VHDL. All modules in the architecture are optimized to utilize minimum hardware area. A parameterized encoding system and flexible architecture is proposed to provide the ability to achieve different compression ratios ranging from 1.4 to 2 with varying size and power requirements. As a baseline, with no compression, the encoder required hardware resources equivalent to 18K logic gates. This work experimented with compression ratios up to 2 which required an equivalent of 31K logic gates. The encoder performs at frequency ranges of 159–183 MHz.

Risk sensitivity is a fundamental aspect of biological motor control that accounts for both the expectation and variability of movement cost in the face of uncertainty. However, most computational models of biological motor control rely on model-based risk-sensitive optimal control, which requires an accurate internal representation in the central neural system to predict the outcomes of motor commands. In reality, the dynamics of human-environment interaction is too complex to be accurately modeled, and noise further complicates system identification. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel risk-sensitive computational mechanism for biological motor control based on reinforcement learning (RL) and adaptive dynamic programming (ADP). The proposed ADP-based mechanism suggests that humans can directly learn an approximation of the risk-sensitive optimal feedback controller from noisy sensory data without the need for system identification. Numerical validation of the proposed mechanism is conducted on the arm-reaching task under divergent force field. The preliminary computational results align with the experimental observations from the past literature of computational neuroscience.

Radiation-induced soft errors are one of the most challenging issues in Safety Critical Real-Time Embedded System (SACRES) reliability, usually handled using different flavors of Double Modular Redundancy (DMR) techniques. This solution is becoming unaffordable due to the complexity of modern micro-processors in all domains. This paper addresses the promising field of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) based hardware detectors for soft errors. To create such cores and make them general enough to work with different software applications, micro-architectural attributes are a fascinating option as candidate fault detection features. Several processors already track these features through dedicated Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU). However, there is an open question to understand to what extent they are enough to detect faulty executions. Exploiting the capability of gem5 to simulate real computing systems, perform fault injection experiments, and profile micro-architectural attributes (i.e., gem5 Stats), this paper presents the results of a comprehensive analysis regarding the potential attributes to detect soft errors and the associated models that can be trained with these features.

Complex systems often involve interconnected subsystem models developed by multi-disciplinary teams. To simulate and control such systems, a reduced-order model of the interconnected system is required. In the scope of this paper, we pursue this goal by subsystem reduction to warrant modularity of the reduction approach. However, reducing subsystem models affects not only the subsystems accuracy, but also the interconnected model accuracy, making it difficult to predict a priori the accuracy impact of subsystem reduction. To address this challenge, we introduce a top-down approach using mathematical tools from robust performance analysis, enabling the translation of accuracy requirements from the interconnected model to the subsystem level. This enables independent subsystem reduction while ensuring the desired accuracy of the interconnected model. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach through a structural dynamics case study.

For deploying deep neural networks on edge devices with limited resources, binary neural networks (BNNs) have attracted significant attention, due to their computational and memory efficiency. However, once a neural network is binarized, finetuning it on edge devices becomes challenging because most conventional training algorithms for BNNs are designed for use on centralized servers and require storing real-valued parameters during training. To address this limitation, this paper introduces binary stochastic flip optimization (BinSFO), a novel training algorithm for BNNs. BinSFO employs a parameter update rule based on Boolean operations, eliminating the need to store real-valued parameters and thereby reducing memory requirements and computational overhead. In experiments, we demonstrated the effectiveness and memory efficiency of BinSFO in fine-tuning scenarios on six image classification datasets. BinSFO performed comparably to conventional training algorithms with a 70.7% smaller memory requirement. Code is released at https://***/TatsukichiShibuya/ICASSP2025_BinSFO

This paper studies the learning-based optimal control for a class of infinite-dimensional linear time-delay systems. The aim is to fill the gap of adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) where adaptive optimal control of infinite-dimensional systems is not addressed. A key strategy is to combine the classical model-based linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control of time-delay systems with the state-of-art reinforcement learning (RL) technique. Both the model-based and data-driven policy iteration (PI) approaches are proposed to solve the corresponding algebraic Riccati equation (ARE) with guaranteed convergence. The proposed PI algorithm can be considered as a generalization of ADP to infinite-dimensional time-delay systems. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by the practical application arising from autonomous driving in mixed traffic environments, where human drivers’ reaction delay is considered.
