  • SSCS December Technical Webinar: How Close Should Compute and Memory Be?

    Online
    Virtual Event

    Abstract: Compute-in-memory (CIM) and processing-near-memory (PNM) have emerged as promising approaches to overcome the limitations of architectures that separate processing from memory. While this bottleneck is often attributed to von Neumann’s design, such critiques overlook its historical significance: the separation of logic and memory enabled the decoupling of software from hardware, laying the foundation for general-purpose […]

  • SSCS February Technical Webinar – JxCDC: Weight-Input Transformations for Robust and Low Power CiM in Ultra-Low Precision DNNs

    Virtual Event

    Abstract: Computing-in-memory (CiM), in conjunction with ultra-low precision (ULP) inputs and weights, promises a pathway towards the deployment of DNN workloads on resource-constrained edge platforms. For instance, CiM-enabled binary neural network (BNN) accelerators (with inputs and weights quantized to two states: {-1,1}) have shown potential by significantly reducing storage and energy cost while maintaining acceptable […]
