Denim: Heterogeneous Compute-in-Memory Accelerator Exploiting Denoising–Similarity for Diffusion Models 150 150
Author(s): Ruiqi Guo, Lei Wang, Xiaofeng Chen, Keyi Jiang, Zhiheng Yue, Huiming Han, Yang Wang, Fengbin Tu, Shaojun Wei, Yang Hu, Shouyi Yin

Abstract:

Diffusion models have recently revolutionized the field of image synthesis due to their ability to generate photorealistic images. However, one of the main drawbacks of diffusion models is that the image generation process is expensive. Large image-to-image networks have to be applied multiple times in order to iteratively optimize the …

HyFPCiM: A 65-nm 417-μW Error-Sensitivity-Aware FP8 Compute-in-Memory Macro

HyFPCiM: A 65-nm 417-μW Error-Sensitivity-Aware FP8 Compute-in-Memory Macro 150 150
Author(s): K Gaurav Kumar, Yatharth Agarwal, Kaushik Roy

Abstract:

This letter presents HyFPCiM, a 65-nm FP8 compute-in-memory (CiM) macro that enables sub-mW floating-point (FP) inference using error-sensitivity-aware FP partitioning (EAP). EAP maps exponent processing to a digital CiM (DCiM) path and mantissa accumulation to an analog CiM (ACiM), avoiding the power- and area-intensive adder-tree-based accumulation used in prior FP-CiM …

LUT-Based Convolutional Tsetlin Machine Accelerator With Dynamic Clause Scaling for Resources-Constrained FPGAs

LUT-Based Convolutional Tsetlin Machine Accelerator With Dynamic Clause Scaling for Resources-Constrained FPGAs 150 150
Author(s): Rashed Al Amin, Roman Obermaisser

Abstract:

The rapid growth of machine learning (ML) workloads, particularly in computer vision applications, has significantly increased computational and energy demands in modern electronic systems, motivating the use of hardware accelerators to offload processing from general-purpose processors. Despite advances in computationally efficient ML models, achieving energy-efficient inference on resource-constrained edge devices …

A 27.5–28.5 mJ/Frame 3-D Gaussian Rendering Processor With Spherical Beta Illumination and Mixed-Precision Computation Path

A 27.5–28.5 mJ/Frame 3-D Gaussian Rendering Processor With Spherical Beta Illumination and Mixed-Precision Computation Path 150 150
Author(s): Cheng Nian, Xiaorui Mo, Jiaqi Zhang, Fasih Ud Din Farrukh, Jiaying Peng, Fei Chen, Chun Zhang

Abstract:

This letter presents a 3-D Gaussian rendering processor that integrates a spherical beta (SB) illumination module with a mixed-precision rendering engine to enable energy-efficient novel-view synthesis on edge devices. SB replaces spherical harmonics (SH) with a hardware-efficient kernel implemented using a pipelined fixed-point piecewise linear (PWL) power unit. The pipeline …

On-Chip Charge-Trap-Transistor-Based Mismatch Calibration of an 8-Bit Thermometer Current-Source DAC

On-Chip Charge-Trap-Transistor-Based Mismatch Calibration of an 8-Bit Thermometer Current-Source DAC 150 150
Author(s): Mohammadreza Zeinali, Sudhakar Pamarti

Abstract:

This letter presents an on-chip mismatch calibration technique for current-source digital-to-analog converters (DACs) using charge-trap transistors (CTTs) in 22-nm FDSOI technology. The proposed method exploits programmable threshold voltage (VTH) shifts in CTTs to locally tune the current of near-minimum-sized devices without external trimming. A compact 8-bit thermometer DAC is implemented …
