ARENAS-HOYOS, Sergio Andrés  and  BERNAL-NORENA, Álvaro. Support vector machines implementation over integers modulo-M and Residue Number System. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2023, vol.90, n.226, pp.17-26.  Epub Feb 12, 2024. ISSN 0012-7353.  https://doi.org/10.15446/dyna.v90n226.107112.

In low-power hardware implementations for classification algorithms, it is often essential to use physical resources efficiently. In this sense, the use of modulo-M integer operations instead of floating-point arithmetic, can lead to better performance, especially when M represents the dynamic range of an arithmetic block of the Residue Number System (RNS) [1,2]. Following this premise, this work is aiming to provide a methodology for implementing a classifier, specifically a Support Vector Machine (SVM) [3], using modulo-M integers and proposing a method for the use of Residue Number System.

Keywords : modular arithmetic; pattern recognition; Residue Number System (RNS); Support Vector Machines (SVN); digital signal processing; radial basis function.
