Abstract:

Computing-in-memory (CIM) has been widely investigated as a solution to the von Neumann bottleneck to reduce data transfer between memory and processor. However, existing CIM macros for neural network (NN) edge applications still suffer from high latency and energy consumption due to the correlation between data precision and the number …

A BEV Perception Transformer Accelerator With Saliency-Driven Image/Point Cloud Fusion and Phase-Linked Dataflow in 28 nm CMOS

A BEV Perception Transformer Accelerator With Saliency-Driven Image/Point Cloud Fusion and Phase-Linked Dataflow in 28 nm CMOS 150 150
Author(s): Junyi Qian, Yuncheng Lu, Zhangrui Qian, Lishuo Deng, Zhihao Yan, Cai Li, Tony Tae-Hyoung Kim, Weiwei Shan

Abstract:

Deploying advanced Transformer-based models for real-time, high-accuracy multimodal bird’s-eye-view (BEV) perception in autonomous driving imposes substantial hardware demands. To address this, we propose a low-cost, low-power image/point-cloud fusion Transformer accelerator that supports two modes: high-performance driving and ultra-low-power sentry operation. We first propose a cross-modal saliency evaluation mechanism …

Binarized Neural-Network Parallel-Processing Accelerator Macro Designed for an Energy Efficiency Higher Than 100 TOPS/W

Binarized Neural-Network Parallel-Processing Accelerator Macro Designed for an Energy Efficiency Higher Than 100 TOPS/W 150 150
Author(s): Yusaku Shiotsu, Satoshi Sugahara

Abstract:

A binarized neural-network (BNN) accelerator macro is developed based on a processing-in-memory (PIM) architecture having the ability of eight-parallel multiply-accumulate (MAC) processing. The parallel-processing PIM macro, referred to as a PPIM macro, is designed to perform the parallel processing with no use of multiport SRAM cells and to achieve the …
