A 1-Byte Deterministic Acoustic Interface for Ultra-Low-Latency Edge Computing: Hardware-Native Phonetic Encoding via 2KB On-Chip L1 SRAM
Contemporary deep neural speech architectures rely heavily on extensive subword tokenizers (e.g., Byte-Pair Encoding) and multi-byte Unicode International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) representations. These conventional pipelines impose substantial DRAM bus contention, multi-megabyte memory footprints, and non-deterministic...
