Developed advanced quantization support for neural network inference on RISC-V architectures within the Tencent/ncnn repository, focusing on edge device performance and portability. Over two months, implemented a RISC-V Quantization Layer supporting both standard and FP16 formats, followed by RVV-accelerated Dequantize and Requantize layers optimized for integer and half-precision data types. Leveraged C++ and parallel programming techniques to enhance inference speed and memory efficiency, while maintaining compatibility with existing quantization graphs and tooling. The work established a robust foundation for cross-architecture optimization, enabling efficient deployment of quantized machine learning models on RISC-V vector-enabled embedded systems.
May 2026 focused on advancing quantization support on edge devices by delivering RVV-accelerated layers in Tencent/ncnn. Implemented two new layers, Dequantize and Requantize, optimized for RISC-V vector architectures. Dequantize supports integer and FP16 data types to enable efficient processing of quantized networks; Requantize supports ReLU and Leaky ReLU activations for post-quantization scaling and activation. These additions enhance performance and flexibility of quantized inference on RVV-enabled platforms, while maintaining compatibility with existing quantization graphs and tooling.
