tinyML Development With TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers and CMSIS-NN

Hosts: Peter Warden (Google) and Fredrik Knutsson (Arm)

Deep Neural Networks are becoming increasingly popular in endpoint devices. Developers can perform data analytics on devices with reduced latency and energy consumption. Join Google and Arm in this workshop where we will introduce how Google’s TensorFlow Lite for microcontrollers (TFLu) and its integration with CMSIS-NN maximize ML application performance. Learn how to run a person detection sample with TFLu and CMSIS-NN on an Arduino Nano device.

Containers Over-the-air: Building Your First IoT Device

Host: David Tischler (Balena)

This workshop is designed to be a beginner lesson in how to deploy and manage IoT devices, in this case using the Balena Cloud platform and Arm-powered devices such as a Raspberry Pi. Attendees can follow along at home as they are guided through account set-up, building their first container, and pushing it to their device. Participants with a SenseHAT or similar will leave the workshop with a fully functional IoT device.

Cloud-hypervisor – A Rising Rust Based VMM Comes to Arm

Host: Michael Zhao (Arm)

Cloud-hypervisor is a new virtual machine monitor (VMM) written in Rust, a memory-safe and concurrency-efficient programming language. Cloud-hypervisor originated by Intel. It is built on top of Rust-VMM, a VMM component library extracted from two famous Rust-based VMM’s: CrosVM (Google) and Firecracker (AWS). This workshop introduces this rising VMM, and a live demo is provided.

Cloud Native Networking and Service Mesh: KubeEdge/Istio/Envoy/Cilium

Hosts: André Martins (Isovalent), Lizan Zhou (Tetrate) and Tina Tsou (Arm)

KubeEdge/Istio/Envoy/Cilium have been widely used in modern Cloud Native developing. In this workshop, we start from one real world use case of highly Geo distributed cloud-native application, a Freeway ETC(Electronic Toll Collection) system, then discuss how to build cloud native applications on Arm based infrastructure with combination of these open source projects.

Exploit Mitigations and Attacks on Arm Cortex-A Devices

Host: Maria Markstedter (Azeria Labs)

With the proliferation of Arm-based mobile and IoT devices, exploit mitigations are often the front-line in defending these devices from hackers. In this workshop, attendees will learn how exploit mitigations for software running on Arm Cortex-A devices work under-the-hood to block certain categories of memory-corruption-based exploits. Attendees will learn about common exploitation techniques and run exploits against vulnerable programs to see which exploit mitigations protect against these techniques and how hackers take advantage of their limitations. The aim of this workshop is to educate developers on how hackers can bypass individual mitigations, and the importance of combining them to increase the level of security.

Hands on With EC2 Instances Powered by Arm-based AWS Graviton2 Processors

Host: Arthur Petitpierre (Amazon Web Services)

AWS Graviton2 based Amazon EC2 instances provide up to 40% better price performance compared to comparable current generation x86-based instances for a wide variety of workloads. In this workshop, we will get hands on with spinning up these Arm-based instances on AWS and discuss the tools available to dev/test Arm-based applications in the cloud.

Combating COVID-19 With AI

Host: Wei Xiao (Arm)

Responding to COVID-19, AI will be an incredible force to do good for humanity. From detecting COVID-19 in X-ray images, to predicting the spread of the virus. In this workshop, attendees will train ML models for X-ray image classification and data pattern prediction, then make decisions using Arm NN with these models. You will gain hands-on experience with ML frameworks and tools.
