Abstract

Many important computational workloads are bound by the performance of the memory system that supplies data to conventional processors. Compute in Memory (CiM) promises to circumvent this bottleneck by performing the processing within the memory. Neural Networks are memory-bound, and a notable example of such is the Hopfield Network. This work explores the design space of non-volatile computing-in-memory (NV-CiM) architectures using an instruction-level simulator to evaluate application mappings and workload-driven architectural adaptations. The exploration examines the resulting design trade-offs and includes theoretical comparisons with representative CPU and GPU architectures.

Audio-Based Condition Monitoring for Agricultural Machinery: Stakeholder Needs, Adoption Barriers, and MVP Requirements

Failures of agricultural machinery are costly when breakdowns occur during narrow work windows and are discovered too late for planned service. Audio-based condition monitoring offers a low-cost retrofit sensing path because operators already treat abnormal sound as an informal diagnostic cue. Whether such systems are adopted, however, depends on how well they fit farm workflows, repair constraints, and stakeholder decision-making. This paper reports a stakeholder discovery study of audio-based condition monitoring for agricultural machinery. We synthesize semi-structured interviews with farm operators, dairy operators, dealership and service personnel, manufacturers, integrators, and domain experts, together with a short survey. Across sources, downtime avoidance emerged as the dominant value driver, and failures were most commonly recognized through unusual noise and loss of functionality. Survey responses further indicate a gap in maintenance visibility and low penetration of predictive tools. These findings narrow the opportunity from generic ``AI diagnosis'' to low-friction early warning and evidence generation for maintenance planning. Modern tractors appear to be a weaker initial wedge because many are already instrumented and supported by mature service programs. Implements, attachments, hidden rotating components, small-to-medium operations, and continuous-use settings such as dairy present clearer need because failures in these contexts are harder to perceive, sensing coverage is lower, and downtime consequences are higher. We translate these findings into requirements for a minimum viable product (MVP) that prioritizes maintenance actionability over full automation: commodity audio capture, contextual annotation, asset-specific baselines, persistent-deviation detection, temporally stable alerts, and evidence artifacts that support operator inspection and dealer triage.

Directional and Quasi-Omnidirectional Indoor Channel Measurements at Upper 6 GHz

This paper presents wideband indoor channel measurements and measurement-based statistical modeling of channel parameters in the upper 6 GHz (U6G) band using directional and quasi-omnidirectional antenna pairs. Measurements span 6.425-7.125 GHz at 32 matched positions per configuration in an open hall and an L-shaped corridor. System calibration and frequency-dependent peak-gain normalization retain antenna radiation-pattern weighting. Close-in and floating-intercept models are fitted to line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS (NLOS) path loss, respectively. Shadow-fading residuals, RMS delay spread (DS), and equivalent K factors derived from power delay profiles are characterized. LOS exponents range from 1.98 to 2.14. Despite similar attenuation slopes, directional links exhibit smaller LOS residuals and DS and higher equivalent K factors. Hall DS medians are 1.78 and 36.52 ns for directional and quasi-omnidirectional links. Corridor NLOS slopes are -1.12 and 2.54, respectively, while DS ordering varies by position. These results characterize antenna-dependent parameters for U6G indoor channels.

Cross-Layer Co-Design of Low-Latency Stateful Logic Adders with Printed Memristors

Data movement between memory and processing units remains a major bottleneck in data-centric systems. Memristive Stateful Logic (SL) addresses this problem by performing Boolean operations directly on stored resistive states. However, arithmetic efficiency depends jointly on the device-supported logic primitive set, the dependency structure of the resulting operation sequence, and its mapping to datapath architectures. While prior designs typically optimize device, logic, and architecture layers separately, we jointly consider them to co-design a stateful adder. We experimentally demonstrate a mixed MAGIC and FELIX logic primitive set on printed Electrochemical Metallization (ECM) memristors and derive a full adder sequence optimized for inter-bit carry propagation. Mapping this sequence to bit-serial, bit-parallel, and bit-pipelined datapaths reduces the latter two to 2n+6 cycles for an n-bit addition. For 32-bit addition, this requires 60-88% fewer cycles than prior SL adders. Across four representative workloads, we achieve 3.7x-16.4x speedup over prior. These results show how cross-layer co-design can translate into improved workload-level performance.
