讲座摘要

With the rapid advancement of computing technology, cyber-physical systems like drones, self-driving cars, and mobile cognitive robots have made remarkable progress in terms of multifunctionality and miniaturization. As a result, these resource-constrained cyber-physical systems (RCCPSs) are now capable of carrying out diverse tasks in environments with limited resources. Consequently, the computing systems powering RCCPSs must achieve high efficiency and scalability. First and foremost, it is essential for these computing systems to be power-efficient while delivering optimal performance. This requirement is particularly crucial as they need to handle complex algorithms for learning-based perception and AI-driven decision-making within the constraints of a fixed amount of onboard energy. Moreover, scalability is of utmost importance, necessitating the ability to expand the current computing system and its components both horizontally (with additional resources) and vertically (by incorporating emerging advanced technology).

To achieve efficient and scalable computing systems in RCCPSs, we broadly investigates a set of techniques and solutions via a bottom-up layered approach. This layered approach leverages the characteristics of each system layer (e.g., the circuit, architecture, and operating system layers) and their interactions to discover and explore the optimal system tradeoffs among performance, efficiency, and scalability.
