arXiv:2608. 11770v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Edge-deployed vision systems in target recognition, surveillance, autonomous vehicles, and drone domains require hierarchical inference pipelines where a detection model identifies objects of interest and downstream classifiers provide fine-grained attribute analysis.
arXiv:2608. 26418v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern AI workloads and the hardware that runs them evolve on different timescales: architectural definition precedes volume silicon by years, while target workloads shift in months.
arXiv:2608. 14586v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are becoming a promising paradigm for autonomous driving, but their deployment on existing vehicle platforms remains difficult because they introduce both high inference latency and strong GPU-side resource pressure.

arXiv:2606. 08173v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In sixth-generation (6G) networks, billions of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) - autonomous vehicles, smart grids, industrial robots, and remote-surgical equipment - will run over ultra-reliable low-latency slices, collapsing the gap between a remote breach and physical harm to milliseconds, a budget perimeter firewalls and centralised security operations centres cannot meet.
The paper introduces A-LEMS, a framework that measures AI energy consumption at the goal level rather than per model invocation, defining Energy per Successful Goal (EpG) as total workflow energy divided by successfully completed goals. It also proposes the Orchestration Overhead Index (OOI) to quantify the extra energy cost of agentic systems compared to linear execution, revealing significant overheads across various hardware platforms and task families. The study demonstrates that traditional per-inference metrics underestimate the true energy cost of completing user goals in agentic AI workflows.
The study evaluates the portability of INT8 post‑training quantization across seven hardware platforms, including CPUs, GPUs, and vendor NPUs, by keeping the ONNX model and quantization scales constant. It finds that INT8 performance and output consistency vary significantly: CPU dot‑product instructions determine speedup, identical INT8 outputs only occur when integer kernels match, and vendor NPUs require their own quantization pipelines. The authors also show that edge‑NPU latency is dominated by data transfer rather than compute and provide scripts and reports for reproducibility.
