摘要: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor includes first and second sets of arithmetic units having first and second precision for floating-point computations, the second precision being lower than the first precision. The processor is configured to obtain a machine learning model trained in the first precision, to utilize the second set of arithmetic units to perform inference on input data, to utilize the first set of arithmetic units to generate feedback for updating parameters of the second set of arithmetic units based on the inference performed on the input data by the second set of arithmetic units, to tune parameters of the second set of arithmetic units based at least in part on the feedback generated by the first set of arithmetic units, and to utilize the second set of arithmetic units with the tuned parameters to generate inference results.

摘要: Methods and systems of implementing a convolutional neural network are described. In an example, a structure may receive input signals and distribute the input signals to a plurality of unit cells. The structure may include a plurality of multi-kernel modules that may include a respective set of unit cells. A unit cell may correspond to an element of a kernel being implemented in the convolutional neural network and may include a storage component configured to store a weight of a corresponding element of the kernel. A first pass gate of the unit cell may be activated to pass a stored weight of the unit cell to a plurality of operation circuits in the corresponding unit cell, such that the stored weight may be applied to the input signals. The structure may generate a set of outputs based on the application of the stored weights to the input signals.

摘要: A field-effect transistor includes a semiconductor substrate having first, second, third, and fourth sides, and a ferroelectric gate stack on an upper surface of the substrate. The ferroelectric gate stack includes a gate insulating layer; and a ferroelectric material layer on the gate insulating layer. Portions of the upper surface of the substrate between the first side and the ferroelectric gate stack and between the second side and the ferroelectric gate stack are doped with n-type impurities, and portions of the upper surface of the substrate between the third side and the ferroelectric gate stack and between the fourth side and the ferroelectric gate stack are doped with p-type impurities. A presence of both n and p channels in a same region increases a capacitance and voltage gain of the ferroelectric gate stack.

摘要: A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor structure includes source and drain regions formed within a semiconductor substrate, a first conducting layer formed over the source and drain regions, and a dielectric layer formed over the first conducting layer. The MIM capacitor structure further includes a second conducting layer formed over the dielectric layer, and a sidewall dielectric formed adjacent the first conducting layer and the dielectric layer. An electric field is created indirectly through the sidewall dielectric to an adjacent field effect transistor (FET) channel in the semiconductor substrate.
