★ Session Summary ★
With the exponential rise in quantity of data to manage, the modern data centre is increasingly limited by the capacity of individual machines. Since storage and compute demand more capacity than can be provided by a single machine, we distribute both over large clusters and use the network to transfer data between where it is stored and where it is processed. Moving all that data around uses deep storage stacks which incur a significant performance impact. If we could somehow flatten the storage stack and provide applications with direct access to data, then we could improve performance by orders of magnitude.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recently demonstrated that we can do exactly with their research project, ""The Machine"". Instead of moving data around with a network, The Machine uses multi terabytes of persistent memory and a next generation fabric-attached memory interconnect to provide a single pool of storage which can be accessed by any processor in the cluster. It shows that we can provide applications with immediate load/store access to huge data sets in a model called Memory-Driven Computing.
Proof in hand, now it is time to bring Memory-Defined Computing to the data centre. Gen-Z is an open systems interconnect designed to provide memory semantic access to data and devices via direct attached, switched or fabric topologies. HPE has joined the Gen-Z consortium and is using the knowledge gained with The Machine to help shape Gen-Z to set the stage for true Memory-Driven Computing. With putting memory at the centre, this enables us to overcome the limitations of today's computing systems and power innovations.
This session will cover two topics. It will start with a status update on The Machine and an overview of how it works. Then we'll shift into an introduction of Gen-Z, and how it can reshape the architecture of computing in the years to come.

Development of hardware-based Elements for GStreamer 1.0: A case study (GStre...Igalia
By Víctor Jáquez.
GStreamer 1.0 brings new features for memory handling, particularly the management of buffers. Now it is possible to implement elements that make use of memory areas that are not accessed directly by CPU, such as the video memory, continuous memory areas and so on.
The purpose of this talk is to show how we can use these new interfaces for developing GStreamer elements, that are tightly integrated with the hardware. In particular, we will show how we implemented a simple video sink for the pandaboard, using the Direct Rendering Management (DRM) interface.
This element, called kmssink, uses many of the new concepts for memory handling, added in GStreamer v1.0, such as allocators, buffer pools, and so on. We will review these concepts and how they were used in the element.

Deep Learning Neural Network Acceleration at the Edge - Andrea GalloLinaro
Short
The growing amount of data captured by sensors and the real time constraints imply that not only big data analytics but also Machine Learning (ML) inference shall be executed at the edge. The multiple options for neural network acceleration in Arm-based platforms provide an unprecedented opportunity for new intelligent devices. It also raises the risk of fragmentation and duplication of efforts when multiple frameworks shall support multiple accelerators.
Andrea Gallo, Linaro VP of Segment Groups, will summarise the existing NN frameworks, accelerator solutions, and will describe the efforts underway in the Arm ecosystem.
Abstract
The dramatically growing amount of data captured by sensors and the ever more stringent requirements for latency and real time constraints are paving the way for edge computing, and this implies that not only big data analytics but also Machine Learning (ML) inference shall be executed at the edge. The multiple options for neural network acceleration in recent Arm-based platforms provides an unprecedented opportunity for new intelligent devices with ML inference. It also raises the risk of fragmentation and duplication of efforts when multiple frameworks shall support multiple accelerators.
Andrea Gallo, Linaro VP of Segment Groups, will summarise the existing NN frameworks, model description formats, accelerator solutions, low cost development boards and will describe the efforts underway to identify the best technologies to improve the consolidation and enable the competitive innovative advantage from all vendors.
Audience
The session will be useful for executives to engineers. Executives will gain a deeper understanding of the issues and opportunities. Engineers at NN acceleration IP design houses will take away ideas for how to collaborate in the open source community on their area of expertise, how to evaluate the performance and accelerate multiple NN frameworks without modifying them for each new IP, whether it be targeting edge computing gateways, smart devices or simple microcontrollers.
Benefits to the Ecosystem
The AI deep learning neural network ecosystem is starting just now and it has similar implications with open source as GPU and video accelerators had in the early days with user space drivers, binary blobs, proprietary APIs and all possible ways to protect their IPs. The session will outline a proposal for a collaborative ecosystem effort to create a common framework to manage multiple NN accelerators while at the same time avoiding to modify deep learning frameworks with multiple forks.

Bud17 113: distribution ci using qemu and open qaLinaro
“Delivering a well working distribution is hard. There are a lot of different hardware platforms that need to be verified and the software stack is in a big flux during development phases. In rolling releases, this gets even worse, as nothing ever stands still. The only sane answer to that problem are working Continuous Integration tests. The SUSE way to check whether any change breaks normal distribution behavior is OpenQA. Using OpenQA we can automatically run tests that hard working QA people did manually in the old days. That way we have fast enough turnaround times to find and reject breaking changes This session shows how OpenQA works, what pitfalls we had to make ARM work with OpenQA and what we’re doing to improve it for ARM specific use cases.”

Talk Title: HPC network stack on ARM
Talk Abstract:
Applications, programming languages, and libraries that leverage sophisticated network hardware capabilities have a natural advantage when used in today¹s and tomorrow's high-performance and data center computer environments. Modern RDMA based network interconnects provides incredibly rich functionality (RDMA, Atomics, OS-bypass, etc.) that enable low-latency and high-bandwidth communication services. The functionality is supported by a variety of interconnect technologies such as InfiniBand, RoCE, iWARP, Intel OPA, Cray¹s Aries/Gemini, and others. Over the last decade, the HPC community has developed variety user/kernel level protocols and libraries that enable a variety of high-performance applications over RDMA interconnects including MPI, SHMEM, UPC, etc. With the emerging availability HPC solutions based on ARM CPU architecture it is important to understand how ARM integrates with the RDMA hardware and HPC network software stack. In this talk, we will overview ARM architecture and system software stack, including MPI runtimes, OpenSHMEM, and OpenUCX.

★ Session Summary ★
This session will introduce the changes to EAS planned for 4.14 kernel, and how Arm hopes that EAS will develop in future. EAS has already evolved from an Arm/Linaro joint project to involving a much wider community of SoC vendors, Google and interested device manufacturers. We will highlight the product-specific pieces remaining in the Android Common Kernel EAS implementation, and our plans to provide an upstreaming plan for each product feature. In particular, the new 'simplified energy model' is designed to provide mainline-friendliness and comparable performance using a simple DT expression of cpu power/performance.

★ Session Summary ★
ARM's Scalable Vector Extensions is an innovative solution to processing highly data parallel workloads. While several out-of-tree attempts at implementing SVE support for QEMU existed, we took a fundamentally different approach to solving key challenges and therefore pursued a from-scratch QEMU SVE implementation in Linaro. Our strategic choice was driven by several factors. First as an ""upstream first"" organisation we were focused on a solution that would be readily accepted by the upstream project. This entailed doing our development in the open on the project mailing lists where early feedback and community consensus can be reached.

HKG18-120 - Devicetree Schema Documentation and Validation Linaro
"Session ID: HKG18-120
Session Name: HKG18-120 - Structured Documentation and Validation for Device Tree
Speaker: Grant Likely
Track: Kernel
★ Session Summary ★
Devicetree has become the dominant hardware configuration language used when building embedded systems. Projects using Devicetree now include Linux, U-Boot, Android, FreeBSD, and Zephyr. However, it is notoriously difficult to write correct Devicetree data files. The dtc tools perform limited tests for valid data, and there there is not yet a way to add validity test for specific hardware descriptions. Neither is there a good way to document requirements for specific bindings. Work is underway to solve these problems. This session will present a proposal for adding Devicetree schema files to the Devicetree toolchain that can be used to both validate data and produce usable documentation.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
