LLMs on Analog In-Memory Computing Based Hardware (IBM Research, ETH Zurich)


A technical paper titled "Analog Foundation Models" was published by IBM Research– Zurich, ETH Zurich, IBM Research-Almaden, and IBM TJ Watson Research Center. Abstract: "Analog in-memory computing (AIMC) is a promising compute paradigm to improve speed and power efficiency of neural network inference beyond the limits of conventional von Neumann-based architectures. However, AIMC intro... » read more

3D Integration Supports CIM Versatility And Accuracy


Compute-in-memory (CIM) is gaining attention due to its efficiency in limiting the movement of massive volumes of data, but it's not perfect. CIM modules can help reduce the cost of computation for AI workloads, and they can learn from the highly efficient approaches taken by biological brains. When it comes to versatility, scalability, and accuracy, however, significant tradeoffs are requir... » read more
