The ADAPTING project proposes a new architectural paradigm adaptable to any AI application and its constraints in terms of precision, energy, latency and reliability. The adaptive architecture will be designed to ensure the flexibility, efficiency, durability and reliability of embedded AI. This approach goes beyond current hardware architectures and is aimed at the next generation of AI applications.

Missions
Our researches
Flexibility
To be able to use the same hardware architectures to run different AI algorithms, taking into account application constraints in terms of accuracy, energy consumption and reliability.
On-chip learning
Enable adaptive learning in the cloud or close to the sensor to limit data transfer and preserve confidentiality, while reducing energy consumption.
Energy efficiency
Design frugal computing components and hardware architectures that significantly reduce data transfer between memory and computers.
Reliability
Exploit the specific features of hardware architectures to develop low-cost, real-time fault tolerance strategies for detecting, diagnosing and correcting hardware errors.

- Specifications for the creation of new generations of adaptive hardware architectures for embedded AI.
- Development of virtual platforms to simulate these architectures and evaluate their performance in terms of flexibility, energy consumption, on-chip learning and robustness.
- Comparison of these architectures with the state-of-the-art.
The proliferation of connected objects is generating a growing need for artificial intelligence to process data as close as possible to the sensors. This trend entails major constraints in terms of data confidentiality, bandwidth, energy consumption and latency, particularly for critical real-time applications.
The ADAPTING project proposes a new, scalable architectural paradigm for designing integrated AI hardware solutions that are flexible, efficient, durable and reliable.
