Coupled Simulation Methodology for In-Memory Computing Systems

Coupled Simulation Methodology for In-Memory Computing Systems 150 150

Abstract:

Simulations for the development and optimization of future in-memory computing (IMC) systems often face the problem that the modeling of the large system is desired, but at the same time, the effects at the device level should also be taken into account. Such effects could be due to the material …

AACIM: A 2785-TOPS/W, 161-TOP/mm2, <1.17%-RMSE, Analog-In Analog-Out Computing-In-Memory Macro in 28 nm

AACIM: A 2785-TOPS/W, 161-TOP/mm2, <1.17%-RMSE, Analog-In Analog-Out Computing-In-Memory Macro in 28 nm 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents an analog-in analog-out CIM macro (AACIM) for use in analog deep neural network (DNN) processors. Our macro receives analog inputs, performs a 64-by-32 vector–matrix multiplication (VMM) with a current-discharging computation mechanism, and produces analog outputs. It stores a 4-bit weight as an analog voltage in the …

MIX-ACIM: A 28-nm Mixed-Precision Analog Compute-in-Memory With Digital Feature Restoration for Vector-Matrix Multiplication

MIX-ACIM: A 28-nm Mixed-Precision Analog Compute-in-Memory With Digital Feature Restoration for Vector-Matrix Multiplication 150 150

Abstract:

A mixed-precision analog compute-in-memory (Mix-ACIM) is presented for mixed-precision vector-matrix multiplication (VMM). The design features an all-analog current-domain fixed-point (FxP) VMM with floating-point conversion and feature restoration. A 28 nm CMOS test chip shows 41 TOPS/W and 24 TOPS/mm2 for FxP (8-bit input/weight and 12-bit output) and 24.18 TFLOPS/W and 3.3 …
