摘要: Sparsity-aware reconfiguration compute-in-memory (CIM) static random access memory (SRAM) systems are disclosed. In one aspect, a reconfigurable precision succession approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that has the ability to form (n+m) bit precision using n-bit and m-bit sub-ADCs is provided. By controlling which sub-ADCs are used based on data sparsity, precision may be maintained as needed while providing a more energy efficient design.

摘要: Examples disclosed herein relate to a fault-tolerant dot product engine. The fault-tolerant dot product engine has a crossbar array having a number l of row lines and a number n of column lines intersecting the row lines to form l×n memory locations, with each memory location having a programmable memristive element and defining a matrix value. A number l of digital-to-analog converters are coupled to the row lines of the crossbar array to receive an input signal and a number n of analog-to-digital converters are coupled to the column lines of the crossbar array to generate an output signal. The output signal is a dot product of the input signal and the matrix values in the crossbar array, wherein a number m

摘要: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices to improve the quality of synthetic speech generation. A system selects speech units from a speech unit database, the speech units corresponding to text to be converted to speech. The system identifies a desired prosodic curve of speech produced from the selected speech units, and also identifies an actual prosodic curve of the speech units. The selected speech units are modified such that a new prosodic curve of the modified speech units matches the desired prosodic curve. The system stores the modified speech units into the speech unit database for use in generating future speech, thereby increasing the prosodic coverage of the database with the expectation of improving the output quality.

摘要: Provided is a semiconductor device capable of reducing its area, operating at a high speed, or reducing its power consumption. A circuit 50 is used as a memory circuit with a function of performing an arithmetic operation. One of a circuit 80 and a circuit 90 has a region overlapping with at least part of the other of the circuit 80 and the circuit 90. Accordingly, the circuit 50 can perform the arithmetic operation that is essentially performed in the circuit 60; thus, a burden of the arithmetic operation on the circuit 60 can be reduced. Moreover, the number of times of data transmission and reception between the circuits 50 and 60 can be reduced. Furthermore, the circuit 50 functioning as a memory circuit can have a function of performing an arithmetic operation while the increase in the area of the circuit 50 is suppressed.
