Resource and data optimization for hardware implementation of deep neural networks targeting FPGA-based edge devices
No full textTargeting convolutional neural networks (CNNs), we adopt the high level synthesis (HLS) design methodology and explore various optimization and synthesis techniques to optimize design on an FPGA. Our motivation is to target embedded devices that operate as edge devices. Recently, as machine learning algorithms have become more practical, there have been much effort to implement them on devices that can be used in our daily lives. However, unlike server devices, edge devices are relatively small and thus have much more limited resources and performance. Therefore, control of resource usage and optimization play an important role when we want to implement machine learning algorithms on an edge device. The key idea explored in this thesis is backward pipeline scheduling which optimizes the pipeline between CNN layers. This optimization technique is especially useful to utilize the limited on-chip memory resource for classifying an image on an edge device. We have achieved latency of 175.7 μs for classifying one image in the MNIST data set using the LeNet and 653.5 μs for classifying one image in the Cifar-10 data set using the CifarNet. For the LeNet we were able to maintain high accuracy of 97.6% for the MNIST data set and 83.4% for the Cifar-10 data set. We achieved the best single-image latency, 5.2x faster for the LeNet and 1.95x faster for the CifarNet, compared with NVIDIA Jetson TX1.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Xinheng Liu, accepted the attached license on 2018-04-25 at 16:17.The student, Xinheng Liu, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2018-04-25 at 16:32.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2018-04-25 at 16:58.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12495 on 2018-08-31 at 17:21:32Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-04T20:36:55Z (GMT).

By-ways of nature and life
No full textThis book is a collection of articles previously published in the New York Evening Post written while Deming traveled through England, North America, and the West Indies. Each article focuses on a particular place, describing both it and what drew Deming to it. Newfoundland is the subject of several articles on pp. 75-113, and is described in great detail by the author. He also writes about cod and it's importance to the island, the seal fishery, and the process of sending/receiving telegraphs at the cable station at Heart's Content
Rhododendron mingii Y. P. Ma, L. M. Gao & E. D. Liu 2023, sp. nov.
No full text<i>Rhododendron mingii</i> Y.P. Ma, L.M. Gao & E.D. Liu, <i>sp. nov.</i> (Figure. 1) <p> The new species resembles <i>R. genestierianum</i> by flower shape and petal color, but differs from the latter by the much shorter petiole and leaf, densely white powder on outer surface of petal, and slender and erect style (Table 1).</p> <p> Type:— CHINA. Yunnan: Wenshan Prefecture, Maguan County, Laojun Mountain, ca. 2500 m, 14 May 2019, E.D. Liu, Y. Yang & Y.Y. Li, <i>OYY00214</i> (holotype: KUN!).</p> <p>Shrubs, evergreen, 1–2 m tall; stem and branches glabrous, gray white, bark peeling. Petiole grooved, 2–3 mm long; leaves clustered at stem apex, leathery, oblong-lanceolate, 3–6(8) × 1–2 cm, base cuneate, apex caudate-acuminate, margin slightly revolute and fringed with sparse hairs; abaxial surface pale green, densely white powder, scales sparse, small, circular, about equal in size, brown; adaxial surface green, shiny; midrib grooved adaxially; lateral veins 10–12- paired, usually not obviously reaching the margin. Inflorescence terminal, umbellate, 5–9-flowered. Pedicel 1–1.5 cm, glabrous, white powder; calyx pruinose, rim-like, slightly lobed, 2–3 mm long, persistent; corolla campanulate, fleshy, pruinose, reddish purple, 1.2–1.6 cm long, tube 0.8–1.2 cm long, glabrous; stamens 10, unequal, 0.5–1.5 cm long, shorter than style, filaments glabrous, unequal, 0.4–1.2 cm long, anthers ca. 2 mm long, deep red; ovary scaly; style purple, 1.2–1.5 cm long, glabrous, slender and longer than corolla; stigma small, capitate. Fruit not known.</p> <p> <b>Distribution and ecology</b>:—To date, <i>Rhododendron mingii</i> has only been found from the type locality of Laojun Mountain, Malipo County, SE Yunnan of China (104°34’E, 22°57’N). It grows in evergreen bushes on the summit of Laojun Mountain at an elevation of ca. 2500 m, co-occurring with <i>R. maguanense</i> Feng (1983: 268) and <i>R. sinofalconeri</i> Balfour (1916: 272).</p> <p> <b>Phenology</b>:— <i>Rhododendron mingii</i> flowers from April to May.</p> <p> <b>Etymology</b>:—The specific epithet is in honor of Prof. Tien-Lu Ming, a taxonomist of the genus <i>Rhododendron</i>.</p> <p> <b>Notes:</b> —Base on morphological and phylogenetic evidence in the present study, we are still unable to make an accurate subsectional placement for the new species, due to no clear boundaries between subsections <i>Tephropepal</i> and <i>Genestieriana</i> (Figure 2). Morphologically, <i>R. mingii</i> is similar to <i>R. genestierianum</i>, but the most contrasting character distinguishing them is the characteristic of style (Table 1). In general, whether a slender or deflexed style is the key trait to define subsections in section <i>Rhododendron.</i> However, there is exception for the subsection Moupinensia, which is including three species and R. moupinense Franchet (1886: 33) has slender style whereas the remaining two have deflexed styles. The newly discovered <i>R. mingii</i> would further raise the interesting topic regarding the importance of style characteristics in defining subsection or species within section <i>Rhododendron.</i></p>Published as part of <i>Liu, Zhenwen, Liu, Ende, He, Deming, Ma, Yongpeng & Gao, Lianming, 2023, Rhododendron mingii (Ericaceae), a new species from Southeast of Yunnan, China, pp. 97-104 in Phytotaxa 619 (1)</i> on pages 98-102, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.619.1.5, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/8425798">http://zenodo.org/record/8425798</a>
