  • Publication number: 20200090030
    Abstract: An integrated circuit applied in a deep neural network is disclosed. The integrated circuit comprises at least one processor, a first internal memory, a second internal memory, at least one MAC circuit, a compressor and a decompressor. The processor performs a cuboid convolution over decompression data for each cuboid of an input image fed to any one of multiple convolution layers. The MAC circuit performs multiplication and accumulation operations associated with the cuboid convolution to output a convoluted cuboid. The compressor compresses the convoluted cuboid into one compressed segment and store it in the second internal memory. The decompressor decompresses data from the second internal memory segment by segment to store the decompression data in the first internal memory. The input image is horizontally divided into multiple cuboids with an overlap of at least one row for each channel between any two adjacent cuboids.

  • Publication number: 20190370640
    Abstract: An in-memory computing memory device is disclosed. The memory device comprises an array of memory cells, a plurality of word lines, a plurality of bit lines, (M+1) input circuits, a wordline driver and an evaluation circuitry. The array is divided into (M+1) lanes and each lane comprises P memory cell columns and an input circuit. The input circuit in each lane charges a predefined bit line with a default amount of charge proportional to an input synapse value and then distributes the default amount of charge to the other second bit lines with a predefined ratio based on a constant current. The evaluation circuitry couples a selected number of the bit lines to an accumulate line and convert an average voltage at the accumulate line into a digital value in response to a set of (M+1) input synapse values and the activated word line.

  • Patent number: 9733900
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a full adder based on resistive-switching devices and an operation method thereof. A multi-bit full adder circuit is constituted by using a cross-bar array of resistive-switching devices, wherein data of standard sums is stored on the principle diagonal of the cross-bar array in a nonvolatile manner, and carry data is stored in adjacent units on both sides of the principle diagonal. The carry data is stored according to whether the storage loop (crosstalk loop) is turned on. With the present disclosure, the multi-bit full adder circuit is significantly simplified. Thereby, additional circuits for generating a carry signal are reduced, the circuit delay and chip area are decreased, and the adder has an ability of nonvolatile storage.
