The Internet of Things (IoT) enables a “smart world” in which many billions of devices communicate to provide advanced functionalities. More specifically, a broad variety of IoT edge devices that can “sense”, “listen” and “see” is emerging to capture data for further processing and communication. Such devices have a broad range of compute requirements for implementing a mixture of control processing, digital signal processing (DSP), machine learning, security, etc. In this chapter, we analyze the compute requirements of IoT edge devices and discuss processor capabilities that support the efficient implementation of such devices. More specifically, we focus on IoT edge devices that demand low power consumption. We present concrete examples of versatile, configurable and extensible processors that provide capabilities for control processing, DSP (e.g. voice/audio processing, communications) and machine learning. The processor examples are complemented with benchmark data for illustrative IoT edge application functions.
