  • Patent number: 11880769
    Abstract: A system is described that performs training operations for a neural network, the system including an analog circuit element functional block with an array of analog circuit elements, and a controller. The controller monitors error values computed using an output from each of one or more initial iterations of a neural network training operation, the one or more initial iterations being performed using neural network data acquired from the memory. When one or more error values are less than a threshold, the controller uses the neural network data from the memory to configure the analog circuit element functional block to perform remaining iterations of the neural network training operation. The controller then causes the analog circuit element functional block to perform the remaining iterations.

  • Patent number: 11868876
    Abstract: Disclosed is a neuromorphic integrated circuit including, in some embodiments, a multi-layered neural network disposed in an analog multiplier array of two-quadrant multipliers. Each multiplier of the multipliers is wired to ground and draws a negligible amount of current when input signal values for input signals to transistors of the multiplier are approximately zero, weight values of the transistors of the multiplier are approximately zero, or a combination thereof. Also disclosed is a method of the neuromorphic integrated circuit including, in some embodiments, training the neural network; tracking rates of change for the weight values; determining if and how quickly certain weight values are trending toward zero; and driving those weight values toward zero, thereby encouraging sparsity in the neural network. Sparsity in the neural network combined with the multipliers wired to ground minimizes power consumption of the neuromorphic integrated circuit such that battery power is sufficient for power.
