  • Patent number: 11899518
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for improving performance (e.g., reducing power consumption) of a hardware accelerator (e.g., neural processor) comprising hybrid or analog multiply and accumulate (MAC) processing elements (PEs). Selective variation of the precision of an array of MAC PEs may reduce power consumption of a neural processor. Power may be conserved by dynamically controlling the precision of analog to digital (ADC) output bits for one or more MAC PEs. Dynamic control of ADC output bit precision may be based on precision information determined during training and/or post-training (e.g., quantization) of an artificial intelligence (AI) neural network (NN) model implemented by the neural processor. Precision information may include a range of dynamic precision for each of a plurality of nodes of a computation graph for the AI NN model.

  • Patent number: 11733967
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for split and duplicate ripple circuits are described. A ripple circuit may be divided into stages, which may operate in parallel. For example, a first stage may have a finite number of possibilities for an output that is relevant for a second stage, and the second stages may be replicated according to the finite number of possibilities. The replicated second stages thus may operate concurrently with each other and the first stage, with each of the replicated second stages assuming a different possible output from the first stage. Once operation of the first stage is complete, the true output of the first stage may be used to select one of the second stages as corresponding to the correct assumed output, and the output of the selected second stage may be or may be included in a set of output signals for the circuit.

  • Patent number: 11720327
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a temperature compensation circuit and method for a neural network computing-in-memory array. Reference arrays sparsely inserted in the computing-in-memory array are adopted to provide a reference voltage for ADCs, so that an input voltage and a reference voltage of the ADCs have a same temperature coefficient. Finally, after analog-to-digital conversion by the ADC, the digital output of the ADC is not affected by the external temperature, thereby ensuring the operational precision of the neural network. According to the temperature compensation circuit of the disclosure, the reference arrays have the same structure as the computing-in-memory array. The insertion density of the reference arrays is related to the temperature field where the computing-in-memory arrays are located.

  • Patent number: 11636125
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for detecting anomalies within data, such as time series data. In one example, unlabeled data, such as time series data, may be obtained. At least one data point, representing an artificial anomaly, may be inserted into the data. The data may then be divided into a number of different windows. The windows may have a fixed size and may at least partially overlap in time. The data contained within different windows may be compared, to each other and to the injected data point, to determine an anomaly score for individual windows. The anomaly score may indicate a likelihood that a given window contains an anomaly. In a specific example, a convolution neural network may be trained based on the data and inserted data points representing anomalies, where a contrastive loss function is used to represent different portions of the data in the neural network.

  • Patent number: 11204976
    Abstract: A method comprises receiving a kernel used to convolve with an input tensor. For a first dimension of the kernel, a square block of values for each single dimensional vector of the kernel that includes all rotations of that single dimensional vector is generated. For each additional dimension of the kernel, group blocks of an immediately preceding dimension into sets of blocks, each set of blocks including blocks of the immediately preceding dimension that are aligned along a vector that is parallel to the axis of the dimension; and generate, for the additional dimension, one or more blocks of values, each block including all rotations of blocks within each of the sets of blocks of the immediately preceding dimension. The block of values corresponding to the last dimension in the additional dimensions of the kernel is output as the expanded kernel.

  • Patent number: 11143632
    Abstract: In a rotating machine abnormality detection device, a rotating machine abnormality detection method, and a rotating machine according to the present invention, vibration caused by at least one of first and second rotating bodies is measured, a predetermined feature amount related to a frequency component is obtained based on a frequency spectrum of the measurement data, and determination is made on presence/absence of abnormality based on the obtained predetermined feature amount. On this occasion, when determination is made that abnormality is present, determination whether the determination of abnormality is caused by noise or not is made based on the frequency spectrum, and when determination is made that the determination of abnormality is not caused by the noise, the determined abnormality is ultimately considered as abnormality.

  • Patent number: 11138291
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for performing efficient matrix multiplication in architectures with scratchpad memories or associative caches using asymmetric allocation of space for the different matrices. The system receives a left matrix and a right matrix. In an embodiment, the system allocates, in a scratchpad memory, asymmetric memory space for tiles for each of the two matrices as well as a dot product matrix. The system proceeds with then performing dot product matrix multiplication involving the tiles of the left and the right matrices, storing resulting dot product values in corresponding allocated dot product matrix tiles. The system then proceeds to write the stored dot product values from the scratchpad memory into main memory.
