Embedded systems with multi-core designs are becoming increasingly important for signal processing, machine learning, and multimedia applications in recent years. While embedded multi-core systems will look to play an important role ahead for application designs, many challenging problems remain to be resolved. Applications, programming models, compilers, API designs, architecture designs, and software tools all need to contribute to the advance of embedded multi-core computing for signal processing, pixel processing, machine learning, and multimedia applications.
In this special issue, we aim to bring together researchers in the related areas to present the latest developments and technical solutions concerning various aspects of embedded multi-core computing for signal processing and AI applications. This special issue seeks original unpublished papers focusing on emerging signal processing applications, embedded compilers, AI compilers, embedded memory and architecture design, DSP/GPU systems, and embedded multi-core programming models.
