    摘要: A method for power saving and encryption during analysis of media captured by an information capture device using a partitioned neural network includes replicating, by an information capture device, an artificial neural network (ANN) from a computer server to the information capture device. The ANN on the computer server and a replicated ANN, both, include M layers. The method further includes, in response to captured data being input to be processed, partially processing, by the information capture device, the captured data by executing a first k layers using the replicated ANN, wherein only the k layers are selected to execute on the information capture device. The method further includes transmitting, by the information capture device, an output of the k-th layer to the computer server, which partially processes the captured data by executing the remainder of the M layers using the ANN and the output of the k-th layer.

    摘要: Described herein is a crossbar array that includes a cross-point synaptic device at each of a plurality of crosspoints. The cross-point synaptic device includes a weight storage element comprising a set of nanocrystal dots. Further, the cross-point synaptic device includes at least three terminals for interacting with the weight storage element, wherein a weight is stored in the weight storage element by sending a first electric pulse via a gate terminal from the at least three terminals, the first electric pulse causes the nanocrystal dots to store a corresponding charge, and the weight is erased from the weight storage element by sending a second electric pulse via the gate terminal, the second electric pulse having an opposite polarity of the first electric pulse.

    摘要: Word lines intersect bit lines at a plurality of cross points where a plurality of single memory transistor synapse cells are located. Each cell includes a memory transistor; a pulse shaping unit coupled to a given one of a plurality of signal lines and a gate of the memory transistor; a logic gate having inputs coupled to a corresponding one of the word lines and a corresponding one of the bit lines, and an output coupled to the pulse shaping unit; and a pass gate arrangement. The latter is coupled to the memory transistor, the corresponding one of the word lines, the corresponding one of the bit lines, and the output of the logic gate. Pulses are applied to the gate of the memory transistor for weight adjustment during update and to interconnect the memory transistor to the corresponding one of the bit lines during inference.
