IFISC Seminar on Tuesday Mar 14, 2023 at 14:30 Place: IFISC Seminar Room Title: In-memory Computing – Fundamentals, Current Trends, and Future Directions Speaker: Naresh R. Shanbhag, Department of Electrical & Computing Engineering, University of Illinois Abstract: <div> <div> <p><span style="font-size:large"><span style="font-family:Book Antiqua">In-memory computing (IMC) has emerged as an attractive complement to digital accelerators for enhancing the energy efficiency of machine learning tasks. IMC addresses the energy and latency costs of memory accesses dominating AI workloads by transforming the conventional memory accesses into one that computes functions of data in the memory core in an analog/mixed-signal manner. As a result, IMC chips have demonstrated > 100X reduction in the energy-delay product over equivalent von Neumann architectures at iso-accuracy. IMCs also exhibit a fundamental energy vs. SNR trade-off that designers need to exploit to enhance energy efficiency while meeting task-level accuracy requirements. Since the publication of the concept in our ICASSP 2014 paper, IMC design has become an active area of research in the machine learning integrated circuits and architecture communities. This talk will describe IMC design principles, review current trends based on our recent efforts in extensive benchmarking (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/naresh-shanbhag/UIUC-IMC-Benchmarking">https://github.com/naresh-shanbhag/UIUC-IMC-Benchmarking</a>;), and identify future opportunities and challenges in deploying IMCs at scale in emerging applications.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large"><span style="font-family:Book Antiqua">Note that the seminar takes place on<span style="color:#c0392b"><strong> Tuesday</strong></span>, 14th March.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p>Presential in the IFISC seminar room</p> <p>Zoom stream at: https://zoom.us/j/98286706234?pwd=bm1JUFVYcTJkaVl1VU55L0FiWDRIUT09</p>; </div> </div> Url event:https://ifisc.uib-csic.es/en/events/seminars/in-memory-computing-fundamental...
