Resistive-switching random access memory (RRAM) is a promising technology for in-memory computing (IMC) to accelerate training and inference of deep neural networks (DNNs). This work presents the first physics-based statistical model describing (i) multilevel RRAM device program/verify (PV) algorithms by controlled set transition, (ii) the stochastic cycle-to-cycle (C2C) and device-to-device (D2D) variations within the array, and (iii) the impact of such imprecisions on the accuracy of DNN accelerators. The model can handle the full chain from RRAM materials/device parameters to the DNN performance, thus providing a valuable tool for device/circuit codesign of hardware DNN accelerators.

Abstract
Resistive-switching random access memory (RRAM) is a promising technology for in-memory computing (IMC) to accelerate training and inference of deep neural networks (DNNs). This work presents the first physics-based statistical model describing (i) multilevel RRAM device program/verify (PV) algorithms by controlled set transition, (ii) the stochastic cycle-to-cycle (C2C) and device-to-device (D2D) variations within the array, and (iii) the impact of such imprecisions on the accuracy of DNN accelerators. The model can handle the full chain from RRAM materials/device parameters to the DNN performance, thus providing a valuable tool for device/circuit codesign of hardware DNN accelerators.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
