Researchers have developed ENAS, an efficient hardware-aware Neural Architecture Search (NAS) framework designed for TinyML applications on resource-constrained microcontrollers. Unlike GPU-dependent methods, ENAS operates effectively without GPUs, utilizing a hybrid search strategy and persistent caching. Evaluations on Visual Wake Words and Melanoma Cancer benchmarks across various microcontrollers demonstrate that ENAS achieves significant search-time speedups and selects models with lower peak activation RAM, crucial for microcontroller deployment.
