摘要: Systems and methods for floating-point processors and methods for operating floating-point processors are provided. A floating-point processor includes a quantizer, a compute-in-memory device, and a decoder. The floating-processor is configured to receive an input array in which the values of the input array are represented in floating-point format. The floating-point processor may be configured to convert the floating-point numbers into integer format so that multiply-accumulate operations can be performed on the numbers. The multiply-accumulate operations generate partial sums, which are in integer format. The partial sums can be accumulated until a full sum is achieved, wherein the full sum can then be converted to floating-point format.

摘要: An in-memory computing device includes in some examples a two-dimensional array of memory cells arranged in rows and columns, each memory cell made of a nine-transistor current-based SRAM. Each memory cell includes a six-transistor SRAM cell and a current source coupled by a switching transistor, which is controlled by input signals on an input line, to an output line associates with the column of memory cells the memory cell is in. The current source includes a switching transistor controlled by the state of the six-transistor SRAM cell, and a current regulating transistor adapted to generate a current at a level determined by a control signal applied at the gate. The control signal can be set such that the total current in each output line is increased by a factor of 2 in each successive column of the memory cells.
