“Addressing Evolving AI Model Challenges Through Memory and Storage,” a Prese...Edge AI and Vision Alliance

��

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2025/06/addressing-evolving-ai-model-challenges-through-memory-and-storage-a-presentation-from-micron/ Wil Florentino, Senior Segment Marketing Manager at Micron, presents the “Addressing Evolving AI Model Challenges Through Memory and Storage” tutorial at the May 2025 Embedded Vision Summit. In the fast-changing world of artificial intelligence, the industry is deploying more AI compute at the edge. But the growing diversity and data footprint of transformers and models such as large language models and large multimodal models puts a spotlight on memory performance and data storage capacity as key bottlenecks. Enabling the full potential of AI in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, robotics and transportation will require us to find efficient ways to deploy this new generation of complex models. In this presentation, Florentino explores how memory and storage are responding to this need and solving complex issues in the AI market. He examines the storage capacity and memory bandwidth requirements of edge AI use cases ranging from tiny devices with severe cost and power constraints to edge servers, and he explains how new memory technologies such as LPDDR5, LPCAMM2 and multi-port SSDs are helping system developers to meet these challenges.

He reviews the distinct attributes of transformers, their advantages over conventional convolutional neural networks and how they enable generative AI. Cooper then covers key requirements that must be met for neural processing units (NPU) to support transformers and generative AI in edge device applications. He uses transformer-based generative AI examples to illustrate the efficient mapping of these workloads onto the enhanced Synopsys ARC NPX NPU IP family.

Reducing Conflicts and Increasing Safety Along the Cycling Networks of East-F...Safe Software

��

In partnership with the Belgian Province of East-Flanders this project aimed to reduce conflicts and increase safety along a cycling route between the cities of Oudenaarde and Ghent. To achieve this goal, the current cycling network data needed some extra key information, including: Speed limits for segments, Access restrictions for different users (pedestrians, cyclists, motor vehicles, etc.), Priority rules at intersections. Using a 360° camera and GPS mounted on a measuring bicycle, we collected images of traffic signs and ground markings along the cycling lanes building up mobile mapping data. Image recognition technologies identified the road signs, creating a dataset with their locations and codes. The data processing entailed three FME workspaces. These included identifying valid intersections with other networks (e.g., roads, railways), creating a topological network between segments and intersections and linking road signs to segments and intersections based on proximity and orientation. Additional features, such as speed zones, inheritance of speed and access to neighbouring segments were also implemented to further enhance the data. The final results were visualized in ArcGIS, enabling analysis for the end users. The project provided them with key insights, including statistics on accessible road segments, speed limits, and intersection priorities. These will make the cycling paths more safe and uniform, by reducing conflicts between users.

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2025/06/why-its-critical-to-have-an-integrated-development-methodology-for-edge-ai-a-presentation-from-lattice-semiconductor/ Sreepada Hegade, Director of ML Systems and Software at Lattice Semiconductor, presents the “Why It’s Critical to Have an Integrated Development Methodology for Edge AI” tutorial at the May 2025 Embedded Vision Summit. The deployment of neural networks near sensors brings well-known advantages such as lower latency, privacy and reduced overall system cost—but also brings significant challenges that complicate development. These challenges can be addressed effectively by choosing the right solution and design methodology. The low-power FPGAs from Lattice are well poised to enable efficient edge implementation of models, while Lattice’s proven development methodology helps to mitigate the challenges and risks associated with edge model deployment. In this presentation, Hegade explains the importance of an integrated framework that tightly consolidates different aspects of edge AI development, including training, quantization of networks for edge deployment, integration with sensors and inferencing. He also illustrates how Lattice’s simplified tool flow helps to achieve the best trade-off between power, performance and efficiency using low-power FPGAs for edge deployment of various AI workloads.
