1-Transistor-Dynamic Random Access Memory as Reservoir for Temporal Signal Processing

1-Transistor-Dynamic Random Access Memory as Reservoir for Temporal Signal Processing 150 150
Author(s): Md Yasir Bashir, Lalith Adithya Sai C., Shubham Sahay

Abstract:

Reservoir computing (RC), a computational paradigm inspired by the recurrent neural networks (RNNs), offers a promising framework for efficient temporal processing with minimal training overhead. Hardware implementation of RC primitive requires devices that exhibit short-term memory, nonlinearity, and energy-efficient state-switching dynamics. While emerging nonvolatile memory (eNVM) technologies have been explored …

Comparative Analysis of Sense Amplifier Circuits for Hybrid CMOS-MTJ CIM Architecture

Comparative Analysis of Sense Amplifier Circuits for Hybrid CMOS-MTJ CIM Architecture 150 150
Author(s): Yashvardhan Singh, Siddharth Penumatsa, Prashanth Barla

Abstract:

Spin-transfer torque magnetic tunnel junction (STT-MTJ) is widely recognized as a promising device for computation-in-memory (CIM) architecture due to its advantages, such as simple nonvolatile structure, CMOS compatibility, and scalability. In spite of the advantages, achieving reliable and efficient sensing of STT-MTJ remains a design challenge. This work presents a …

A Single-Lead ECG Wearable Sensor With 1.04 s Latency for Cardiac and Biometric Detection Tasks

A Single-Lead ECG Wearable Sensor With 1.04 s Latency for Cardiac and Biometric Detection Tasks 150 150
Author(s): Yuxin Ji, Chao Wang, Yuzhi Hao, Yang Zhao, Jian Zhao, Mingyi Chen, Guoxing Wang, Yong Lian, Yongfu Li

Abstract:

The wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor has immense potential for cardiovascular healthcare monitoring. However, uploading ECG signals to server-side devices for diagnosis poses privacy risks. Multi-tasking ECG processors rely on multi-beat windows and complex models, leading to high latency and energy consumption that limit deployment in resource-constrained wearable devices. In this …

OISMA: On-the-Fly In-Memory Stochastic Multiplication Architecture for Approximate Matrix Multiplication

OISMA: On-the-Fly In-Memory Stochastic Multiplication Architecture for Approximate Matrix Multiplication 150 150
Author(s): Shady Agwa, Yihan Pan, Georgios Papandroulidakis, Themis Prodromakis

Abstract:

Artificial intelligence (AI) models are currently driven by a significant upscaling of their complexity, with massive matrix-multiplication workloads representing the major computational bottleneck. In-memory computing (IMC) architectures are proposed to avoid the von Neumann bottleneck. However, both digital/binary-based and analog IMC architectures suffer from various limitations, which significantly degrade …
