Abstract
An in-memory compute (IMC) device includes an array of memory cells and control logic coupled to the array of memory cells. The array of memory cells is arranged as a plurality of rows of cells intersecting a plurality of columns of cells. The array of memory cells includes a first subset of memory cells forming a plurality of computational engines at intersections of rows and columns of the first subset of the array of memory cells. The array also includes a second subset of memory cells forming a plurality of bias engines. The control logic, in operation, generates control signals to control the array of memory cells to perform a plurality of IMC operations using the computational engines, store results of the plurality of IMC operations in memory cells of the array, and computationally combine results of the plurality of IMC operations with respective bias values using the bias engines.
