Abstract
Certain aspects provide an apparatus for performing machine learning tasks, and in particular, to computation-in-memory architectures. One aspect provides a circuit for in-memory computation. The circuit generally includes: a plurality of memory cells on each of multiple columns of a memory, the plurality of memory cells being configured to store multiple bits representing weights of a neural network, wherein the plurality of memory cells on each of the multiple columns are on different word-lines of the memory; multiple addition circuits, each coupled to a respective one of the multiple columns; a first adder circuit coupled to outputs of at least two of the multiple addition circuits; and an accumulator coupled to an output of the first adder circuit.
