The paper presents a novel multi‑exit computational scheme for TinyML on an ultra‑low‑power GAP9 SoC, adding confidence‑based gating points to a MobileNetV2 CNN for ImageNet‑100. By allowing inference to stop early, the approach cuts average MAC operations by 41 % (from 313 MMAC to 185 MMAC), reduces inference time by 29 % (49 ms to 35 ms), and saves 24 % in energy (2.1 mJ to 1.6 mJ per frame) with only a ~1 % drop in accuracy. Compared to a state‑of‑the‑art adaptive CNN on the same hardware, the method more than doubles computational efficiency, raising MAC/cycle from 8.1 to 17.2.

MANE is a distributed inference framework that uses a multi‑path tail architecture to allow dynamic accuracy–throughput trade‑offs during edge onloading of deep neural networks. It introduces a novel multi‑path model, a three‑stage training scheme with Joint Head Network Distillation loss, and a hysteresis‑based scheduler with an equitable device‑fallback policy. The system achieves over 80% SLO satisfaction and 6pp higher accuracy than on‑device alternatives while supporting up to 40 concurrent devices.
