A 28-nm 64-kb 31.6-TFLOPS/W Digital-Domain Floating-Point-Computing-Unit and Double-Bit 6T-SRAM Computing-in-Memory Macro for Floating-Point CNNs

A 28-nm 64-kb 31.6-TFLOPS/W Digital-Domain Floating-Point-Computing-Unit and Double-Bit 6T-SRAM Computing-in-Memory Macro for Floating-Point CNNs 150 150

Abstract:

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), computing-in-memory (CIM) structure is proposed to improve energy efficiency (EF). However, previous CIMs often rely on INT8 data types, which pose challenges when addressing more complex networks, larger datasets, and increasingly intricate tasks. This work presents a double-bit 6T static random-access memory (…

OCCAM: An Error Oblivious CAM

OCCAM: An Error Oblivious CAM 150 150

Abstract:

Content addressable memories (CAMs) are widely used in many applications in general purpose computer microarchitecture, networking and domain-specific hardware accelerators. In addition to storing and reading data, CAMs enable simultaneous compare of query datawords with the entire memory content. Similar to SRAM and DRAM, CAMs are prone to errors and …
