QEPC: Deferred-Evaluation Probabilistic Computing for Wearable AI — Architecture, Simulation Study, and Design Limits

QEPC: Deferred-Evaluation Probabilistic Computing for Wearable AI — Architecture, Simulation Study, and Design Limits 150 150

Abstract:

Wearable AI workloads such as sensor fusion, physiological inference and uncertainty quantification are probabilistic, yet the neural processing units that serve them are deterministic matrix-multiply engines that discard distributional information at every layer. We describe QEPC, a deferred-evaluation execution model in which probability mass functions are maintained in non-volatile state …

STAR-SRAM: 16-bit Floating-Point SRAM-Based Digital Computing-in-Memory Macro in a 28 nm

STAR-SRAM: 16-bit Floating-Point SRAM-Based Digital Computing-in-Memory Macro in a 28 nm 150 150

Abstract:

A digital computing-in-memory (DCIM) macro emerges as a promising building block in a deep neural network (DNN) accelerator. To better support DNN workloads, circuit designers aim to improve three main metrics for macros: energy efficiency, compute density, and weight density. Improvements in those metrics directly translate into reduced energy consumption, …

FIMA: A Scalable Ferroelectric Compute-in-Memory Annealer for Accelerating Boolean Satisfiability

FIMA: A Scalable Ferroelectric Compute-in-Memory Annealer for Accelerating Boolean Satisfiability 150 150

Abstract:

In-memory compute kernels present a promising approach for addressing data-centric workloads. However, their scalability—particularly for computationally intensive tasks solving combinatorial optimization problems such as Boolean satisfiability (SAT), which are inherently difficult to decompose—remains a significant challenge. In this work, we propose a ferroelectric nonvolatile memory (NVM)-based compute-in-memory …
