  • Publication number: 20220385566
    Abstract: A node mesh contains an originating node coupled to one or more nodes, each node having an communications interface input and a communications interface output. Each node has a route table with an association between a header amplitude and an output interface, such that a header having a particular amplitude causes the input node which received the message to couple the message to an associated communications interface output of the node. When the originating node outputs a message with a header amplitude, each node of the node mesh in turn directs the message to an output interface as directed by the node local route table to a terminating node of the node mesh, where the terminating node may be a training processor or inference processor for machine learning applications.

  • Publication number: 20220382517
    Abstract: A Gain Balanced Analog Multiply-Accumulator (AMAC) has an inference memory which outputs subsets of inference data comprising X input values and one or more associated W coefficient values. The Gain Balanced AMAC has a number of Analog Multiplier-Accumulator Unit Elements (AMAC UE) in equal number to the number of X input values in each subset of inference data. In each of a series of multiply-accumulate cycles, the X input values and one or more W coefficient values from the inference memory are applied to each AMAC UE to generate a charge corresponding to the multiplication of X input value and W coefficient value of each AMAC UE which is transferred to a shared analog charge bus. The inference memory applies the X input value and W coefficient values of each subset to a different AMAC UE on subsequent cycles to balance the gain of the AMAC such that gain differences from one AMAC UE to another are not cumulative.
