Objective Deep Learning (DL) algorithms are an extremely promising instrument in artificial intelligence, achieving very high performance in numerous recognition, identification, and classification tasks. To foster their pervasive adoption in a vast scope of new applications and markets, a step forward is needed towards the implementation of the on-line classification task (called inference) on low-power embedded systems, enabling a shift to the edge computing paradigm. Nevertheless, when DL is moved at the edge, severe performance requirements must coexist with tight constraints in terms of power/energy consumption, posing the need for parallel and energy-efficient heterogeneous computing platforms. Unfortunately, programming for this kind of architectures requires advanced skills and significant effort, also considering that DL algorithms are designed to improve precision, without considering the limitations of the device that will execute the inference. Thus, the deployment of DL algorithms on heterogeneous architectures is often unaffordable for SMEs and midcaps without adequate support from software development tools. The main goal of ALOHA is to facilitate implementation of DL on heterogeneous low-energy computing platforms. To this aim, the project will develop a software development tool flow, automating:• algorithm design and analysis;• porting of the inference tasks to heterogeneous embedded architectures, with optimized mapping and scheduling;• implementation of middleware and primitives controlling the target platform, to optimize power and energy savings.During the development of the ALOHA tool flow, several main features will be addressed, such as architecture-awareness (the features of the embedded architecture will be considered starting from the algorithm design), adaptivity, security, productivity, and extensibility. ALOHA will be assessed over three different use-cases, involving surveillance, smart industry automation, and medical application domains Fields of science natural sciencesphysical sciencesastronomyspace explorationnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesinternetinternet of thingssocial sciencessociologyindustrial relationsautomationnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwaresoftware developmentnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesartificial intelligencemachine learningdeep learning Keywords Deep Learning Convolutional Neural Networks IoT Computer aided design Programme(s) H2020-EU.2.1.1. - INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP - Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies - Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Main Programme Topic(s) ICT-05-2017 - Customised and low energy computing (including Low power processor technologies) Call for proposal H2020-ICT-2016-2017 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-ICT-2017-1 Funding Scheme RIA - Research and Innovation action Coordinator STMICROELECTRONICS SRL Net EU contribution € 879 950,00 Address Via c.olivetti 2 20864 Agrate brianza Italy See on map Region Nord-Ovest Lombardia Monza e della Brianza Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 Participants (15) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI CAGLIARI Italy Net EU contribution € 631 987,29 Address Via universita 40 09124 Cagliari See on map Region Isole Sardegna Cagliari Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 UNIVERSITEIT VAN AMSTERDAM Netherlands Net EU contribution € 352 687,50 Address Spui 21 1012WX Amsterdam See on map Region West-Nederland Noord-Holland Groot-Amsterdam Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 UNIVERSITEIT LEIDEN Netherlands Net EU contribution € 321 625,00 Address Rapenburg 70 2311 EZ Leiden See on map Region West-Nederland Zuid-Holland Agglomeratie Leiden en Bollenstreek Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 EIDGENOESSISCHE TECHNISCHE HOCHSCHULE ZUERICH Switzerland Net EU contribution € 481 250,00 Address Raemistrasse 101 8092 Zuerich See on map Region Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera Zürich Zürich Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI SASSARI Italy Net EU contribution € 217 000,00 Address Piazza universita 21 07100 Sassari See on map Region Isole Sardegna Sassari Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 PKE HOLDING AG Austria Net EU contribution € 322 392,50 Address Computerstrasse 6 1100 Wien See on map Region Ostösterreich Wien Wien Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 CA TECHNOLOGIES DEVELOPMENT SPAIN SA Participation ended Spain Net EU contribution € 103 736,73 Address Plaza de la pau sn wtc alameda park edificio 2 planta 4 08940 Cornella de llobregat barcelona See on map Region Este Cataluña Barcelona Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 Third-party Legal entity other than a subcontractor which is affiliated or legally linked to a participant.
