Surrogate Neural Architecture Codesign Package (SNAC-Pack)

arXiv:2605. 16138v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural architecture search (NAS) is a powerful approach for automating model design, but existing methods often optimize for accuracy alone or rely on proxy metrics such as bit operations (BOPs) that correlate poorly with hardware cost.

ENAS: An Efficient Hardware-Aware Neural Architecture Search Framework for TinyML on Resource-Constrained Microcontrollers

ENAS is a hardware‑aware neural architecture search framework tailored for TinyML on microcontrollers. It uses a static feasibility check, a cell‑based search space with various block types and skip connections, and a three‑stage hybrid search strategy (random → top‑K → mutation) with cross‑run caching. The framework runs efficiently without GPUs, achieving significant search‑time speedups and competitive accuracy on Visual Wake Words and Melanoma Cancer benchmarks across a range of microcontrollers.

ONNX-Net: Towards Universal Representations and Instant Performance Prediction for Neural Architectures

ONNX-Net introduces a universal representation for neural architectures using natural language descriptions, enabling instant performance prediction across diverse search spaces. The authors present ONNX-Bench, a benchmark of over 600k architecture–accuracy pairs compiled from open‑source NAS‑bench networks in ONNX format. Experiments demonstrate strong zero‑shot predictive performance with minimal pretraining, overcoming the limitations of cell‑based, graph‑encoded approaches.

Para-Pipe: Exploiting Hierarchical Operator Parallelism of ML Computational Graphs on SoCs

Para-Pipe is a hierarchical mapping framework that integrates intra- and inter-stage operator parallelism within a pipelined architecture for machine‑learning computational graphs on heterogeneous System‑on‑Chip (SoC) platforms. By selectively fine‑tuning parallelism levels across pipeline stages, it navigates the trade‑off between throughput and latency, reducing inter‑processor communication overhead and improving energy efficiency. Evaluation on Amlogic and Black Sesame SoCs shows multiple Pareto‑optimal configurations, with throughput‑optimized setups achieving up to 11.0% better energy efficiency than purely pipelined strategies and 23.3% better than non‑pipelined parallel execution.
