MixCIM: A Hybrid Computing-in-Memory Macro With Less Data-Movement and Better Memory-Reuse for Depthwise Separable Neural Networks 150 150

Abstract:

Computing-in-memory (CIM) architectures have demonstrated strong potential for edge artificial intelligence (AI) devices due to their enhanced parallelism and energy efficiency. With the growing complexity of AI tasks and the rapid increase in model size, computation and deployment costs have surged. Depthwise separable neural networks (DSNNs) have attracted interest for …

SparseCol: A 1320 BTOPS/W Precision-Scalable NPU Exploiting Training-Free Structured Bit-Level Sparsity and Dynamic Dataflow 150 150

Abstract:

Bit-serial computation enables sequential processing of data at the bit level, providing several advantages, such as scalable computational precision. This approach has gained significant attention, especially for exploiting bit-level sparsity (BLS) in AI workloads. While current bit-serial processors leverage BLS to eliminate the computation associated with zero bits, they face …
