AEG: A Baremetal Framework for AI Acceleration via Direct Hardware Access in Heterogeneous Accelerators

arXiv:2604.09565v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper introduces a unified, hardware-independent baremetal runtime architecture designed to enable high-performance machine learning (ML) inference on heterogeneous accelerators, such as AI Engine (AIE) arrays, without the overhead of an underlying real-time or general-purpose operating system. Existing edge-deployment frameworks, such as TinyML, often rely on real-time operating systems (RTOS), which introduce unnecessary complexity and per
