Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments of this disclosure, stray magnetic field mitigation in an MRAM memory such as a spin transfer torque (STT) random access memory (RAM), STTRAM is described. In one embodiment, retention of bitcell bit value storage states in an STTRAM may be facilitated by generating magnetic fields to compensate for stray magnetic fields which may cause bitcells of the memory to change state. In another embodiment, retention of bitcell bit value storage states in an STTRAM may be facilitated by selectively suspending access to a row of memory to temporarily terminate stray magnetic fields which may cause bitcells of the memory to change state. Other aspects are described herein.

Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a nearest neighbor search circuit to perform a search according to a first stage search and a second stage search. The nearest neighbor search circuit includes a first stage circuit and a second stage circuit. The first stage search circuit includes a hash logic circuit and a content addressable memory. The hash logic circuit is to generate a hash word from a input query vector. The hash word has B bands. The content addressable memory is to store hashes of a random access memory's data items. The hashes each have B bands. The content addressable memory is to compare the hashes against the hash word on a sequential band-by-band basis. The second stage circuit char the random access memory and a compare and sort circuit. The compare and sort circuit is to receive the input query vector. The random access memory has crosswise bit lines coupled to the compare and sort circuit. The compare and sort circuit is to identify k nearest ones of the data items whose hashes were selected by the content addressable memory.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus, video processing unit, and method for clustering events in a content addressable memory. An event is received including at least one parameter value and a timestamp. A determination is made as to whether there is a valid entry in the memory having at least one parameter value within a predefined range of values of the at least one parameter value in the event. In response to a determination that there is the valid entry, writing the at least one parameter value and the timestamp in the event to the valid entry.

Abstract: An apparatus is described that includes a semiconductor chip memory array having resistive storage cells. The apparatus also includes a comparator to compare a first word to be written into the array against a second word stored in the array at the location targeted by a write operation that will write the first word into the array. The apparatus also includes circuitry to iteratively write to one or more bit locations where a difference exists between the first word and the second word with increasing write current intensity with each successive iteration.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to scaling of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cells. An SRAM cell include nMOS transistors on one level above pMOS transistors on a lower level. Transistors on the two levels can have overlapping footprints to save space. Additionally, the SRAM cell can use pMOS access transistors in place of nMOS access transistors to allow reuse of areas of the cell which would otherwise be used by the nMOS access transistors. In one approach, gate interconnects are provided in these areas, which have an overlapping footprint with underlying pMOS access transistors to save space. The SRAM cells can be connected to bit lines and word lines in overhead and/or bottom metal layers. In another aspect, SRAM cells of a column are connected to bit lines in an overlying M0 metal layer and an underlying BM0 metal layers to reduce capacitance.

Abstract: An ultra-deep compute Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) with high compute throughput and multi-directional data transfer capability is provided. Compute units are placed in both horizontal and vertical directions to achieve a symmetric layout while enabling communication between the compute units. An SRAM array supports simultaneous read and write to the left and right section of the same SRAM subarray by duplicating pre-decoding logic inside the SRAM array. This allows applications with non-overlapping read and write address spaces to have twice the bandwidth as compared to a baseline SRAM array.

Abstract: Provided are a neuromorphic computing device, memory device, system, and method to maintain a spike history for neurons in a spiking neural network. A neural network spike history is generated in a memory device having an array of rows and columns of memory cells. There is one row of the rows for each of a plurality of neurons and columns for each of a plurality of time slots. Indication is made in a current column in the row of the memory cells for a firing neuron that a spike was fired. Indication is made in the current column in rows of memory cells of idle neurons that did not fire that a spike was not fired. Information in the array is used to determine a timing difference between a connected neuron and the firing neuron and to adjust a weight of the connecting synapse.
