PIPELINE CIRCUIT ARCHITECTURE TO PROVIDE IN-MEMORY COMPUTATION FUNCTIONALITY
摘要:
Techniques and mechanisms for performing in-memory computations with circuitry having a pipeline architecture. In an embodiment, various stages of a pipeline each include a respective input interface and a respective output interface, distinct from said input interface, to couple to different respective circuitry. These stages each further include a respective array of memory cells and circuitry to perform operations based on data stored by said array. A result of one such in-memory computation may be communicated from one pipeline stage to a respective next pipeline stage for use in further in-memory computations. Control circuitry, interconnect circuitry, configuration circuitry or other logic of the pipeline precludes operation of the pipeline as a monolithic, general-purpose memory device. In other embodiments, stages of the pipeline each provide a different respective layer of a neural network.
