A 25-$\mu$s/inf Event-driven Graph Neural Network Processor with Spatiotemporal Caching and Spline Convolution for Ultra-low-latency AI at the Edge

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces ETHEREAL, the first accelerator for event-driven graph neural networks (EV‑GNNs) that can handle 640×480 resolution inputs. It achieves this through a neighbor‑parallel spline convolution engine and a 2D/3D‑split memory hierarchy that includes a novel region‑of‑interest spatiotemporal caching mechanism. Measurements show end‑to‑end inference latency of 25.6 µs and energy consumption of 1.7 µJ per event on state‑of‑the‑art workloads.

FLEET: Token-Based Feature Extraction for Event Camera-based Reinforcement Learning

FLEET is a token‑based feature extractor that processes event camera data directly, using random Fourier features and cross‑attention to compress variable‑length event streams into fixed‑size latent representations. By decoupling inference cost from sensor resolution, it avoids the high compute and temporal blurring associated with CNN‑based grid aggregation. Experiments on a new high‑throughput benchmark show that FLEET outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods and remains robust across different observation frequencies.
