Query: MCUNetV2: Memory-Efficient Patch-based Inference for Tiny Deep Learning   Tiny deep learning on microcontroller units (MCUs) is challenging due to the
limited memory size. We find that the memory bottleneck is due to the
imbalanced memory distribution in convolutional neural network (CNN) designs:
the first several blocks have an order of magnitude larger memory usage than
the rest of the network. To alleviate this issue, we propose a generic
patch-by-patch inference scheduling, which operates only on a small spatial
region of the feature map and significantly cuts down the peak memory. However,
naive implementation brings overlapping patches and computation overhead. We
further propose network redistribution to shift the receptive field and FLOPs
to the later stage and reduce the computation overhead. Manually redistributing
the receptive field is difficult. We automate the process with neural
architecture search to jointly optimize the neural architecture and inference
scheduling, leading to MCUNetV2. Patch-based inference effectively reduces the
peak memory usage of existing networks by 4-8x. Co-designed with neural
networks, MCUNetV2 sets a record ImageNet accuracy on MCU (71.8%), and achieves
>90% accuracy on the visual wake words dataset under only 32kB SRAM. MCUNetV2
also unblocks object detection on tiny devices, achieving 16.9% higher mAP on
Pascal VOC compared to the state-of-the-art result. Our study largely addressed
the memory bottleneck in tinyML and paved the way for various vision
applications beyond image classification.
