Scaling Up Compute-In-Memory Accelerators
By Katherine Derbyshire - 19 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 3

Researchers are zeroing in on new architectures to boost performance by limiting the movement of data in a device, but this is proving to be much harder than it appears. The argument for memory-based computation is familiar by now. Many important computational workloads involve repetitive operations on large datasets. Moving data from memory to the processing unit and back — the so-called ... » read more
