Sequential feature computation for power efficient classification

摘要

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for power efficient processor scheduling of features. In one embodiment, features may be scheduled for sequential computing, and each scheduled feature may receive a sensor data sample as input. In one embodiment, scheduling may be based at least in part on each respective feature's estimated power usage. In one embodiment, a first feature in the sequential schedule of features may be computed and before computing a second feature in the sequential schedule of features, a termination condition may be evaluated.
