Most AI models are implemented on software platforms; however, due to the demands of embedded devices, hardware implementations have to fulfill the demands of real-time applications with better accuracy and low-power consumption. In this letter, we propose an optimized four-layer network that can be implanted into an embedded device and determine the feasibility of implanting our convolutional neural network (CNN) into a microprocessor. The essential functions of the CNN (i.e., padding, convolution, ReLU, max-pooling, fully connected, and softmax layers) are implemented in the microprocessor. The proposed method achieves efficient classification with high performance and takes only 2.5488 mW at a working frequency of 8 MHz. We conclude this letter with a discussion of the results and future direction of research. © 2009-2012 IEEE. date: 2024 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85147301246&doi=10.1109%2fLES.2023.3234973&partnerID=40&md5=21ca087f3e2ccd1abc4e6f6c19d424b7 id_number: 10.1109/LES.2023.3234973 full_text_status: none publication: IEEE Embedded Systems Letters volume: 16 number: 1 pagerange: 5-8 refereed: TRUE issn: 19430663 citation: Lu, C.-K. and Liew, W.S. and Tang, T.B. and Lin, C.-H.
