TensorFlow Lite guide( for mobile & IoT )
TensorFlow Lite is a set of tools to help developers run TensorFlow models on mobile, embedded, and IoT devices. It enables on-device machine learning inference with low latency and small binary size.
TensorFlow Lite consists of two main components:
The TensorFlow Lite interpreter:
- optimize models on many different hardware types, like mobile phones, embedded Linux devices, and microcontrollers.
The TensorFlow Lite converter:
- which converts TensorFlow models into an efficient form for use by the interpreter, and can introduce optimizations to improve binary size and performance.

TensorFlow Lite is TensorFlow's lightweight solution for running machine learning models on mobile and embedded devices. It provides optimized operations for low latency and small binary size on these devices. TensorFlow Lite supports hardware acceleration using the Android Neural Networks API and contains a set of core operators, a new FlatBuffers-based model format, and a mobile-optimized interpreter. It allows converting models trained in TensorFlow to the TFLite format and running them efficiently on mobile.
FPGA Hardware Accelerator for Machine Learning
Machine learning publications and models are growing exponentially, outpacing Moore's law. Hardware acceleration using FPGAs, GPUs, and ASICs can provide performance gains over CPU-only implementations for machine learning workloads. FPGAs allow for reprogramming after manufacturing and can accelerate parts of machine learning algorithms through customized hardware while sharing computations between the FPGA and CPU. Vitis AI is a software stack that optimizes machine learning models for deployment on Xilinx FPGAs, providing pre-optimized models, tools for optimization and quantization, and high-level APIs.
Tail-f Systems ConfD is a data-model driven network configuration and management system. It provides a core engine that supports multiple protocols like NETCONF, SNMP, REST, and CLIs. ConfD uses YANG data models to automatically render management interfaces and data stores. It also provides transactional configuration, validation, rollback management, and monitoring of operational data. ConfD aims to make network devices more manageable, programmable, and standards-compliant using model-driven development.
TensorFlow is the most popular machine learning framework nowadays. TensorFlow Lite (TFLite), open sourced in late 2017, is TensorFlow¡¯s runtime designed for mobile devices, esp. Android cell phones. TFLite is getting more and more mature. One the most interesting new components introduced recently are its GPU delegate and new NNAPI delegate. The GPU delegate uses Open GL ES compute shader on Android platforms and Metal shade on iOS devices. The original NNAPI delegate is an all-or-nothing design (if one of the ops in the compute graph is not supported by NNAPI, the whole graph is not delegated). The new one is a per-op design. When an op in a graph is not supported by NNAPI, the op is automatically fell back to the CPU runtime. I¡¯ll have a quick review TFLite and its interpreter, then walk the audience through example usage of the two delegates and important source code of them.
QEMU is an open source system emulator that uses just-in-time (JIT) compilation to achieve high performance system emulation. It works by translating target CPU instructions to simple host CPU micro-operations at runtime. These micro-operations are cached and chained together into basic blocks to reduce overhead. This approach avoids the performance issues of traditional emulators by removing interpretation overhead and leveraging CPU parallelism through pipelining of basic blocks.
The document discusses real-time operating systems (RTOS) and FreeRTOS. It defines an RTOS as an OS intended for real-time applications that processes data without buffering delays. Popular RTOS include VxWorks, QNX Neutrino, FreeRTOS, and others. FreeRTOS is an open source RTOS kernel for embedded devices that provides task management, communication and synchronization primitives. It supports various architectures and is designed to be small, simple and provide low overhead.

Seven years ago at LCA, Van Jacobsen introduced the concept of net channels but since then the concept of user mode networking has not hit the mainstream. There are several different user mode networking environments: Intel DPDK, BSD netmap, and Solarflare OpenOnload. Each of these provides higher performance than standard Linux kernel networking; but also creates new problems. This talk will explore the issues created by user space networking including performance, internal architecture, security and licensing.
This document provides an overview of embedded Linux. It defines embedded Linux as porting the Linux kernel to run on a specific CPU and board that will be placed in an embedded device. It discusses common embedded Linux distributions and components like bootloaders, kernels, and file systems. It also outlines the process for building an embedded Linux system, developing applications for it using common free tools, and emulating or testing on real hardware.
Short Survey on the current state of Field-programmable gate array usage in Deep learning by several companies like Intel Nervana and Google's TPU (tensor processing units) vs GPU usage in terms of energy consumption and performance.
Numerous technologies exist for profiling and tracing live Linux systems - from the traditional and straight forward gProf and strace to the more elaborate SystemTap, oProfile and the Linux Trace Toolkit. Very recently some new technologies, perf events and ftrace, have appeared that can already largely take the place of these traditional tools and have gained mainline acceptance in the Linux community - meaning that they will become more and more relevant in the future and are already being used to shed light on real world performance issues.
This presentation provides an overview of a number of the more noteworthy instrumentation tools available for Linux and the technologies that they build upon. Some examples of using perf events to analyse a running system to help track down real world performance problems are demonstrated.

It will also discuss various hardware accelerators developed for machine learning, including those designed for mobile/edge and cloud computing environments. The instructor's background and the agenda topics are also outlined.
This third part of Linux internals talks about Thread programming and using various synchronization mechanisms like mutex and semaphores. These constructs helps users to write efficient programs in Linux environment
This document provides an overview of Vector Packet Processing (VPP), an open source packet processing platform developed as part of the FD.io project. VPP is based on DPDK for high performance packet processing in userspace. It includes a full networking stack and can perform L2/L3 forwarding and routing at speeds of over 14 million packets per second on a single core. VPP processing is divided into individual nodes connected by a graph. Packets are passed between nodes as vectors to support batch processing. VPP supports both single and multicore modes using different threading models. It can be used to implement routers, switches, and other network functions and topologies.
U-boot provides a multistage boot process that initializes the CPU and board resources incrementally at each stage. It begins execution on the CPU in a limited environment and hands off to subsequent stages that gain access to more resources like memory and devices. U-boot supports booting an operating system image from storage like SSD or over the network and offers features like secure boot and hypervisor support.
Here are the key steps:
1. Kill any existing controllers running on the system
2. Clear out any existing Mininet topology using mn -c
3. Start the Ryu OpenFlow controller by running:
ryu-manager --verbose ./simple_switch_13.py
This starts the Ryu controller with the simple_switch_13.py application, which provides basic OpenFlow switch functionality. The --verbose flag prints debug information from the controller. We have now initialized the SDN environment with Ryu acting as the controller.
Getting started with setting up embedded platform requires audience to understand some of the key aspects of Linux. Starting with basics of Linux this presentation talks about basic commands, vi editor, shell scripting and advanced commands
