Item Analysing Edge Computing Devices for the Deployment of Embedded AI(2023-12) Garcia-Perez, Asier; Miñón, Raúl; Torre-Bastida, Ana I.; Zulueta-Guerrero, Ekaitz; HPAIn recent years, more and more devices are connected to the network, generating an overwhelming amount of data. This term that is booming today is known as the Internet of Things. In order to deal with these data close to the source, the term Edge Computing arises. The main objective is to address the limitations of cloud processing and satisfy the growing demand for applications and services that require low latency, greater efficiency and real-time response capabilities. Furthermore, it is essential to underscore the intrinsic connection between artificial intelligence and edge computing within the context of our study. This integral relationship not only addresses the challenges posed by data proliferation but also propels a transformative wave of innovation, shaping a new era of data processing capabilities at the network’s edge. Edge devices can perform real-time data analysis and make autonomous decisions without relying on constant connectivity to the cloud. This article aims at analysing and comparing Edge Computing devices when artificial intelligence algorithms are deployed on them. To this end, a detailed experiment involving various edge devices, models and metrics is conducted. In addition, we will observe how artificial intelligence accelerators such as Tensor Processing Unit behave. This analysis seeks to respond to the choice of a device that best suits the necessary AI requirements. As a summary, in general terms, the Jetson Nano provides the best performance when only CPU is used. Nevertheless the utilisation of a TPU drastically enhances the results.Item Conceptualising a Benchmarking Platform for Embedded Devices(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Garcia-Perez, Asier; Miñón, Raúl; Torre-Bastida, Ana I.; Diaz-De-Arcaya, Josu; Zulueta-Guerrero, Ekaitz; Solic, Petar; Nizetic, Sandro; Rodrigues, Joel J. P. C.; Rodrigues, Joel J.P.C.; Gonzalez-de-Artaza, Diego Lopez-de-Ipina; Perkovic, Toni; Catarinucci, Luca; Patrono, Luigi; HPAIn the current era, a notable presence of data-generating devices is being witnessed which spans across various sectors like industries, healthcare or smart cities. The diversity of options in the market pose a significant challenge for companies facing the task of selecting the most suitable embedded devices for their specific needs in their particular environments. Several benchmarking solutions have been conducted to overcome this barrier. Nevertheless, generally, they are ad-hoc solutions for a given experiment, which makes it impossible to extrapolate the results to future scenarios. To address this uncertainty and facilitate informed decision-making, this paper presents the conceptualization of a modular and extensible benchmarking platform. This platform has been designed to adapt to the changing dynamics of the market and the specific needs of users. Its modular and extensible approach allows companies to assess and select integrated devices more efficiently, while providing the necessary flexibility to address new and diverse situations.
