Accelerating Inference of Convolutional Neural Networks Using In-memory Computing

In-memory computing (IMC) is a non-von Neumann paradigm that has recently established itself as a promising approach for energy-efficient, high throughput hardware for deep learning applications. One prominent application of IMC is that of performing matrix-vector multiplication in O(1) time complexity by mapping the synaptic weights of a neural-network layer to the devices of an […]
