Key Concepts applicable to the bottom for the onboard expression chains;
Parallelization
Parallelization involves dividing a task into multiple sub-tasks that can be processed simultaneously, leveraging multi-core processors or multiple computing units. This is crucial for high-performance computing and is widely used in:
- Voice Classification: Speeding up feature extraction and processing by parallelizing different segments of audio data.
- Image Classification: Concurrently processing different parts of an image or multiple images.
Core Technology: Multithreading, SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) on FPGA, and GPU-based parallel processing.
Fallback
Fallback mechanisms ensure that when a primary process or system fails, an alternative takes over to maintain functionality. This is essential for reliability in edge AI applications.
- Voice Classification: If the primary model fails to classify, a simpler, more robust model can provide a less precise but still valuable output.
- Image Classification: Ensuring that a backup classifier steps in if the main one encounters errors.
Core Technology: Redundant systems, failover clustering, and robust model deployment strategies.
Streaming
Streaming refers to the continuous processing of data as it is received, rather than waiting for the entire dataset. This is particularly useful in real-time applications.
- Voice Classification: Real-time processing of audio streams for instant classification and response.
- Image Classification: Processing video frames on-the-fly to classify objects or activities in real-time.
Core Technology: Real-time processing frameworks, low-latency streaming protocols (e.g., WebRTC).
Batching
Batching involves processing data in chunks or batches to improve computational efficiency and throughput. This is opposed to processing one data point at a time.
- Voice Classification: Aggregating multiple audio samples to process them together, improving GPU/FPGA utilization.
- Image Classification: Grouping images for bulk processing, which can enhance throughput and reduce overhead.
Core Technology: Batch processing systems, micro-batching in stream processing frameworks.
Async (Asynchronous Processing)
Asynchronous processing allows tasks to be executed non-blocking, meaning tasks can run in the background while other processes continue.
- Voice Classification: Handling multiple audio inputs concurrently without waiting for each to complete before starting the next.
- Image Classification: Processing images asynchronously to handle multiple requests simultaneously.
Core Technology: Asynchronous APIs, event-driven programming, non-blocking I/O.
Tracing
Tracing involves monitoring and recording the execution of a program to understand its behavior, identify bottlenecks, and debug issues.
- Voice Classification: Monitoring the pipeline to identify latency issues or errors in real-time processing.
- Image Classification: Tracking the execution flow to optimize performance and debug classification models.
Core Technology: Distributed tracing systems (e.g., Jaeger, Zipkin), performance monitoring tools.
Application for Voice/Image Classification at the Edge:
-
Parallelization: Can be implemented using FPGA’s parallel processing capabilities or multi-core CPUs/GPUs. For instance, Xilinx’s Vitis AI can leverage FPGA for concurrent processing of different neural network layers or data segments, making real-time voice or image classification feasible at the edge.
-
Fallback: Ensuring robustness in edge devices by implementing fallback mechanisms. If the primary AI model fails due to limited compute resources, a simpler model can take over. This can be implemented using frameworks like TensorFlow Lite, which supports model fallback mechanisms.
-
Streaming: Utilizing real-time processing frameworks such as GStreamer for continuous audio and video data processing. This is essential for applications requiring instant feedback, such as voice-activated assistants or real-time surveillance systems.
-
Batching: Employing batch processing techniques in frameworks like Apache Kafka Streams to handle bursts of data efficiently, making it suitable for scenarios where large volumes of audio or image data are processed periodically.
-
Async: Using asynchronous processing libraries in Python (e.g., asyncio) or Node.js for handling multiple classification requests simultaneously without blocking the main application flow. This enhances the responsiveness of edge AI systems.
-
Tracing: Implementing distributed tracing tools like Jaeger to monitor and optimize the performance of AI models deployed on edge devices. This is crucial for maintaining efficient operation and quickly identifying and resolving issues.
