Metaverse, with the combination of prefix “meta” (meaning transcending) and word “universe,” has been deemed as a hypothetical next-generation (NextG) Internet. It aims to create shared virtual space that connects all worlds via Internet, where users, represented digital avatars, can communicate collaborate if they are in physical world. Nevertheless, there is still no unified definition Metaverse. This article first reviews what heavily advocated by industry positions various high-tech...

Despite the great success of high-level synthesis (HLS) tools, we observe several unresolved challenges: 1) abstraction HLS programming styles sometimes conceals optimization opportunities; 2) actual quality resulting RTL designs is hard to predict; and 3) existing tools do not provide flexible tradeoff (Pareto) solutions among different objectives constraints. To this end, propose an end-to-end framework, namely, IronMan-Pro. The primary goal enable a automated design space exploration...

Mobile headsets should be capable of understanding 3D physical environments to offer a truly immersive experience for augmented/mixed reality (AR/MR). However, their small form-factor and limited computation resources make it extremely challenging execute in real-time vision algorithms, which are known more compute-intensive than 2D counterparts. In this paper, we propose DeepMix, mobility-aware, lightweight, hybrid object detection framework improving the user AR/MR on mobile headsets....

Multi-chip many-core neural network systems are capable of providing high parallelism benefited from decentralized execution, and they can be scaled to very large with reasonable fabrication costs. As multi-chip scale up, communication latency related effects will take a more important portion in the system performance. While previous work mainly focuses on core placement within single chip, there two principal issues still unresolved: communication-related problems caused by non-uniform,...

Abstract In this paper, we firstly give a new definition, namely, the T point of algebroid functions. Then by using Ahlfors’ theory covering surfaces, prove existence these points for any ν-valued functions in unit disk satisfying $\mathop {\lim \sup }\limits_{r \to 1^ - } \frac{{T(r,w)}} {{\log \tfrac{1} {{1 r}}}} = + \infty $.
