    摘要: A method of manufacturing a memory structure includes forming a plurality of vertically-stacked horizontal line layers, interleaving a plurality of electrically conductive vertical lines with the electrically conductive horizontal lines, and forming a memory film at and between intersections of the electrically conductive vertical lines and the horizontal lines. In one embodiment of the invention, the electrically conductive vertical lines are interleaved with the horizontal lines such that a row of vertical lines is positioned between each horizontally-adjacent pair of horizontal lines in each horizontal line layer. By configuring the electrically conductive vertical lines and electrically conductive horizontal lines so that a row of vertical lines is positioned between each horizontally-adjacent pair of horizontal lines, a unit memory cell footprint of just 2F2 may be realized.

    摘要: The present invention provides a system and method for improving the performance of general-purpose processors by implementing a functional unit that computes the product of a matrix operand with a vector operand, producing a vector result. The functional unit fully utilizes the entire resources of a 128b by 128b multiplier regardless of the operand size, as the number of elements of the matrix and vector operands increase as operand size is reduced. The unit performs both fixed-point and floating-point multiplications and additions with the highest-possible intermediate accuracy with modest resources.

    摘要: A memory array includes wordlines, local bitlines, two-terminal memory elements, global bitlines, and local-to-global bitline pass gates and gain stages. The memory elements are formed between the wordlines and local bitlines. Each local bitline is selectively coupled to an associated global bitline, by way of an associated local-to-global bitline pass gate. During a read operation when a memory element of a local bitline is selected to be read, a local-to-global gain stage is configured to amplify a signal on or passing through the local bitline to an amplified signal on or along an associated global bitline. The amplified signal, which in one embodiment is dependent on the resistive state of the selected memory element, is used to rapidly determine the memory state stored by the selected memory element.
