PULP Platform
@pulp_platform
A joint effort of @ETH_en, University of Bologna @Unibo + partners for Parallel Ultra-Low Power computing. Boldly designing open hardware since '13.
The general assembly of project ISOLDE just took place in Munich. Nils and Francesco represented the PULP team @niwist @arunax. Read more about project ISOLDE: isolde-project.eu

We are sharing one more photo from #ACACES2025 in Fiuggi where we enjoyed a dinner with Prof. Subhasish Mitra. Big Thank you to the organizers @hipeac and Bowen for the pic!

And here is @ThorirMar presenting "Finetuning and Quantization of EEG-Based Foundational BioSignal Models on ECG and PPG Data for Blood Pressure Estimation" at #EMBC2025 in Copenhagen: arxiv.org/abs/2502.17460



More news from #EMBC2025 in Copenhagen. Anna just presented "FEMBA: Efficient and Scalable EEG Analysis with a Bidirectional Mamba Foundation Model". See her paper on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2502.06438


It's always a great pleasure for PULP and Charlie The Bear to welcome guests at IIS. Here is Sharjeel, a PhD student working on processor security at TalTech, who recently paid us a visit. Learn more about the TaiCHIP project: taichip.taltech.ee


Greetings from #ACACES2025 in Fiuggi! We are sharing some photos from the location and of Danilo presenting his work on Quadrilatero: A RISC-V programmable matrix coprocessor for low-power edge applications during the poster session arxiv.org/abs/2504.07565.


Our paper “EMG Acquisition and Processing for Hand Movement Decoding on Embedded Systems: State of the Art and Challenges” appeared in Proceedings of the IEEE! See ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11078… for insights & taxonomy of acquisition systems, algorithms & innovations in EMG-based HMI.




Thorir @ThorirMar, Anna, Sebastian & Mattia are currently attending EMBC 2025 in Copenhagen. Below is Mattia with his poster "Neural Strategies for Upper Limb Movements" and Sebastian presenting "Real-Time, Single-Ear, Wearable ECG Reconstruction" embc.embs.org/2025/about/




We have now published Matteo's tutorial video from The Arathon - A Hackathon on vector processors and Ara. Find it here: youtube.com/watch?v=6XIAOa…
The PULP team is currently attending #ACACES2025 in Fiuggi. Plenty of great talks on captivating topics from top speakers! If you couldn't be there, check out the schedule to get inspired: hipeac.net/acaces/2025/#/… Many thanks to @hipeac and @chaoqun_L.




On his last working day at ETH, Matteo @mperotti17 organized an Arathon for the team to work on the latest edition of the Ara vector processor. Find the slides here: pulp-platform.org/docs/arathon20…. The video will follow soon.




Friday! We are sharing some more photos from our annual IIS barbecue. Wishing you a wonderful weekend!




How do we tackle the massive amounts of sensor data collected and sent uncompressed by IoT devices? Here is "EdgeCodec: Onboard Lightweight High Fidelity Neural Compressor with Residual Vector Quantization" arxiv.org/pdf/2507.06040


Always great to chat with old friends! Chi and Arpan are meeting with our former colleague Renzo at #ISVLSI2025 in Kalamata.

Another contribution from PULP at #ISVLSI2025! Here is Chi giving a talk on "FlatAttention: Dataflow and Fabric Collectives Co-Optimization for Efficient Multi-Head Attention on Tile-Based Many-PE Accelerators". Find the slides on our website: pulp-platform.org/docs/isvlsi202…




Next for PULP, here is Arpan presenting "PACE: An Optimal Piecewise Polynomial Approximation Unit for Flexible and Efficient Transformer Non-linearity Acceleration" at #ISVLSI2025. You can find the slides from her talk here: pulp-platform.org/docs/isvlsi202…




And here is Ahmad @ahmad_mirsalari presenting "Enabling Real-Time Streaming Temporal Convolution Network Inference on Ultra-Low-Power Microcontrollers" at #ISVLSI2025 in Kalamata.

#ISVLSI2025 is currently under way in Kalamata. Here is Luigi presenting "HMR-NEureka: Hybrid Modular Redundancy DNN Acceleration in Heterogeneous RISC-V SoCs" .

Our #IWASI2025 paper "Optimizing Scalable Multi-Cluster Architectures for Next-Generation Wireless Sensing and Communication" extends MemPool to a multi-cluster system to explore trade-offs of wireless many-core architectures for JCAS arxiv.org/pdf/2507.05012 @saem_r @yichao_zh




The annual IIS barbecue took place last week. Big thank you goes to everybody who contributed to the success of this event!
