Time-Aware Deep Intelligence on Batteryless Systems

Abstract

In this paper, we propose real-time scheduling algorithms for batteryless sensing and event detection systems which execute real-time deep learning tasks and are powered solely by harvested energy. The sporadic nature of harvested energy, resource constraints of the embedded platform, and the computational demand of deep neural networks pose a unique and challenging real-time scheduling problem for which no solutions have been proposed in the literature. We empirically study the problem and model the energy harvesting pattern as well as the trade-off between the accuracy and execution of a deep neural network. We develop an imprecise computing-based real-time scheduling algorithm that improves the schedulability of deep learning tasks on intermittently powered systems.
