PALO ALTO, Calif., April 23, 2024 (Globe Newswire) — Efabless Corporation, the chip creator platform, is pleased to announce the launch of the Tiny ML on Tiny Tapeout Contest. The competition invites engineers, developers, and hobbyists to demonstrate the capabilities of machine learning (ML) applications implemented on custom silicon chips through the Tiny Tapeout process.
Participants are encouraged to design, build, train, and implement ML models on chip using the streamlined development flow provided by chipIgnite. This competition provides a unique platform that allows the integration of up to 100 Tiny ML microdesigns on a single low-cost device.
Contest highlights:
- The competition aims to democratize the chip design process and is open to everyone, including students, academics, manufacturers, and working design engineers.
- The top 10 winners will receive free production of their designs and will be provided with a concrete path to bring their innovative ideas to life.
- Participants will receive datasheets for all projects on ASIC and detailed instructions for testing their implementation.
Benefits of joining:
Through the contest process, participants will gain valuable experience such as:
- Demonstrate your engineering skills in a hands-on and innovative environment.
- Gain opportunities to win exciting awards and gain recognition in the semiconductor and machine learning industry.
- Learn about ChipIgnite's platform, open source tools, and automated workflows that simplify the IC design process and make it accessible to all skill levels.
- You will receive completed projects implemented in silicon along with instructions on how to test them.
- Learn how to innovate by incorporating custom functionality into your very low-cost, low-power Tiny ML projects.
Efabless is committed to fostering innovation and giving creative people the opportunity to explore the potential of custom silicon in ML applications. The Tiny ML on Tiny Tapeout contest is more than just a contest.
