• Integration of the RISC-V neuroaccelerator into AIfES

RISC-V with neuroaccelerator

The Fraunhofer IMS is currently developing a RISC-V microprocessor, which will contain a hardware accelerator especially for neural networks. AIfES will be optimized in a special version for this hardware, to assure that the hardware resource can be used optimally.

AIfES especially suitable for sensors

In future, AIfES will contain functions for signal pre-processing in addition to the machine learning algorithms. These functions are particularly suitable for feature extraction.

Further network types

Since AIfES is constantly growing and new algorithms are being implemented, the next step is the integration of further neural network topologies. These include, for example, recurrent networks or a convolutional neural network (ConvNet).
