A 28-nm Digital Transpose SRAM Compute-in-Memory Macro With Accurate/Approximate Dual Mode for Floating-Point Edge Training and Inference

A 28-nm Digital Transpose SRAM Compute-in-Memory Macro With Accurate/Approximate Dual Mode for Floating-Point Edge Training and Inference 150 150

Abstract:

Static random-access memory (SRAM)-based computing-in-memory (CIM) macros have been widely studied to improve the energy efficiency of edge artificial intelligence (AI) inference tasks. However, less attention has been given to AI training, which requires CIM macros to not only perform matrix multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations but also support matrix transposition. …

A Wide-Dynamic-Range Photovoltaic Energy Harvester With Adaptive Power-Scalable MPPT Control and Direct Power-to-Digital Converter

A Wide-Dynamic-Range Photovoltaic Energy Harvester With Adaptive Power-Scalable MPPT Control and Direct Power-to-Digital Converter 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a photovoltaic energy harvester (PVEH) that achieves high maximum power point tracking (MPPT) efficiency and power conversion efficiency across a $100~000{\times }$ input power dynamic range (DR) (from $10~{\mu }$ W to 1W). Wide-dynamic-range operation is challenging due to the inherent tradeoff between MPPT accuracy and controller power consumption. …

PERCEL: A Re-Writable NVM CIM Incorporating a CTT-Based Per-Cell DAC

PERCEL: A Re-Writable NVM CIM Incorporating a CTT-Based Per-Cell DAC 150 150

Abstract:

Compute in memory (CiM) accelerators perform matrix vector multiplications (MVMs) directly inside memory arrays, reducing data movement and improving both energy efficiency and throughput for AI workloads. To reduce the number of conversions, recent designs use multi-bit compute cells. Nevertheless, practical multi-bit CiM still faces a tension between accuracy, efficiency, …

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

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 …
