Toward Software-Equivalent Accuracy on Transformer-Based Deep Neural Networks With Analog Memory Devices
By Technical Paper Link - 20 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract:  "Recent advances in deep learning have been driven by ever-increasing model sizes, with networks growing to millions or even billions of parameters. Such enormous models call for fast and energy-efficient hardware accelerators. We study the potential of Analog AI accelerators based on Non-Volatile Memory, in particular Phase Change Memory (PCM), for software-equivalent accurate i... » read more

FORMS: Fine-grained Polarized ReRAM-based In-situ Computation for Mixed-signal DNN Accelerator
By Technical Paper Link - 19 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "Recent work demonstrated the promise of using resistive random access memory (ReRAM) as an emerging technology to perform inherently parallel analog domain in-situ matrix-vector multiplication—the intensive and key computation in deep neural networks (DNNs). One key problem is the weights that are signed values. However, in a ReRAM crossbar, weights are stored as conductance of... » read more

REDUCT: Keep It Close, Keep It Cool – Scaling DNN Inference on Multi-Core CPUs with Near-Cache Compute
By Technical Paper Link - 02 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract—"Deep Neural Networks (DNN) are used in a variety of applications and services. With the evolving nature of DNNs, the race to build optimal hardware (both in datacenter and edge) continues. General purpose multi-core CPUs offer unique attractive advantages for DNN inference at both datacenter [60] and edge [71]. Most of the CPU pipeline design complexity is targeted towards optimizin... » read more

Developers Turn To Analog For Neural Nets
By Bryon Moyer - 06 May, 2021 - Comments: 1

Machine-learning (ML) solutions are proliferating across a wide variety of industries, but the overwhelming majority of the commercial implementations still rely on digital logic for their solution. With the exception of in-memory computing, analog solutions mostly have been restricted to universities and attempts at neuromorphic computing. However, that’s starting to change. “Everyon... » read more

Improving the Performance Of Deep Neural Networks
By Technical Paper Link - 11 Jan, 2021 - Comments: 0

Source: North Carolina State University. Authors: Xilai Li, Wei Sun, and Tianfu Wu Abstract: "In state-of-the-art deep neural networks, both feature normalization and feature attention have become ubiquitous. They are usually studied as separate modules, however. In this paper, we propose a light-weight integration between the two schema and present Attentive Normalization (AN). Instead of l... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: Nov. 17
By Jesse Allen - 17 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

NVMe controller for research Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) developed a non-volatile memory express (NVMe) controller for storage devices and made it freely available to universities and research institutions in a bid to reduce research costs. Poor accessibility of NVMe controller IP is hampering academic and industrial research, the team argue... » read more
