Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to memory devices. In one approach, a memory device includes memories that store data received from a host device. The memory device includes a memory interface to the host device. The memory device further includes one or more processing devices to perform, using a portion of the data stored in one or more of the memories, computations for a neural network. An output of the neural network is stored in one of the memories. The memory device has a controller that controls memory access by the host device and the processing devices to avoid a conflict. The memory device communicates with the host device over the memory interface using a DRAM bus protocol. This communication includes sending the output of the neural network to the host device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to memory devices. In one approach, an artificial intelligence system uses a memory device to provide inference results. Image data from a camera is provided to the memory device. The memory device stores the image data received from the camera. The memory device includes dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and static random access memory (SRAM). The memory device also includes a processor to run a neural network. The neural network uses the image data as input. An output from the neural network provides an inference result. In one example, the memory device has a same form factor as a conventional DRAM device. The memory device includes a multiply-accumulate (MAC) engine that supports computations for the neural network.
