Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein include a compute in-memory (CIM) accelerator architecture for deep neural network (DNN). The CIM accelerator architecture may include a first analog fabric engine having a plurality of compute in-memory (CIM) analog tiles. Each CIM analog tile may be configured to store a matrix of weight operands producing a vector of outputs from a vector of inputs, and perform in-memory computations. The first analog fabric may also include a plurality of compute cores. Each CIM analog tile and each compute core may include a microcontroller configured to execute a set of instructions. The first analog fabric may also include on-chip interconnects communicatively connecting all CIM analog tiles in the plurality of CIM analog tile to the compute cores.
