OTFGEncoder - HDC: Hardware-efficient Encoding Techniques for Hyperdimensional Computing

Hyper-Dimensional Computing (HDC), a brain-inspired computing paradigm for cognitive tasks, is especially suited for resource-constrained edge devices due to its hardware-efficient and fault-resistant inference. However, existing HDC approaches require large amounts of memory, resulting in high power consumption, limiting their use in edge devices. We offer a hardware-aware encoding where computation parameters in hardware implementations can be reproduced on-the-fly through low-overhead cyclic digital circuits, significantly reducing memory utilization and subsequently power consumption.
