Abstract
A near-memory computation system includes a plurality of computation nodes. Each computation node receives a plurality of input signals and outputs a computing result signal. The computation node includes a plurality of non-volatile memory cells and a processing element. Each non-volatile memory cell stores a weighting value during a program operation and outputs a weighting signal according to the weighting value during a read operation. The processing element is coupled to the plurality of non-volatile memory cells. The processing element receives the plurality of input signals and generates the computing result signal by performing computations with the plurality of input signals and a plurality of weighting signals generated by the plurality of non-volatile memory cells. The plurality of non-volatile memory cells and the processing element are manufactured by different or the same processes.
