Lightning Talk: ExecuTorch on Microcontrollers: Deploying PyTorch To... RJ Ascani & Matthias Cremon

This talk features RJ Ascani and Matthias Cremon from Meta as they discuss ExecuTorch, an extension of PyTorch aimed at running on microcontrollers, digital signal processors, and specialized neural processing units. The session covers how ExecuTorch enables deployment on resource-constrained devices while maintaining a single workflow within PyTorch. Attendees will learn about backend support for platforms like Cadence DSPs and ARM Ethos-U, as well as practical strategies for deploying machine learning models with minimal memory and power requirements. The speakers also present case studies that highlight applications in always-on audio, embedded vision, and TinyML.
