Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The advancement of artificial intelligence applications is promoted by developing deep neural networks (DNNs) with increasing sizes and putting forward higher computing power requirements of the processing devices. However, due to the process scaling of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology approaches to the end and the bottleneck of data transmission in the von-Neumann architecture, traditional processing devices are increasingly challenging to meet the requirements of deeper and deeper neural networks. In-memory computing based on nonvolatile memories has emerged as one of the most promising solutions to overcome the bottleneck of data transmission in the von-Neumann architecture. Herein, systematic implementation of the novel flash memory array-based in-memory computing paradigm for DNNs from the device level to the architecture level is presented. The methodology to construct multiplication-and-accumulation units with different structures, hardware implementation schemes of various neural networks, and the discussion of reliability are included. The results show the hardware implementations of the flash memory array-based in-memory computing paradigm for DNN own excellent characteristics such as low-cost, high computing flexibility, and high robustness. With these advantages, in-memory computing paradigms based on flash memory arrays show significant benefits to achieve high scalability and DNNs' energy efficiency.
