摘要

Recently, resistive switching random access memory (ReRAM)-based hardware accelerators have demonstrated unprecedented performance compared to digital accelerators. However, due to limitations in the manufacturing process and large-scale integration, several significant nonideal effects, including IR-Drop, stuck-at-fault, and device noises in real ReRAM-based crossbar arrays, are typically incurred. These nonideal effects degrade signal integrity and performance, particularly in crossbar structures used for building high-density ReRAMs. Therefore, finding a fast and efficient software solution that can predict the effects of IR-drop without involving expensive hardware is highly desirable. In this work, addressing the main limitations of existing simulation methods, such as slow speed and high-resource costs, we propose an efficient analysis of large-scale ReRAM crossbar arrays and the corresponding nonideal factors based on sparse matrix modeling. We classify nonideal factors into linear (e.g., IR-drop) and nonlinear categories (e.g., shot noise). For linear factors, super-nodal sparse LU factorizations are used to solve. The array-level results show that compared to SPICE simulation, our method achieves a numerical solution accuracy of $10^{-15}$ with $506.8 \sim 1253.3\times $ faster and $17.46 \sim 42934.3\times $ reduced memory usage. For nonlinear factors, we propose two solutions based on different requirements. In one method, we obtain an approximate initial solution by solving a linear system while disregarding the nonlinear contributions and subsequently apply an extended Anderson acceleration method to solve the nonlinear equation, which is suitable for high-precision solutions. Another method simplifies the nonlinear equation into an equivalent linear form. Theoretical validation confirms the effectiveness of this method, significantly enhancing simulation speed while maintaining accuracy. Moreover, we build a high-precision ReRAM accelerator architecture with real-time compensation. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed architecture effectively mitigates accuracy loss caused by nonideal factors.
