Abstract
Certain aspects provide an apparatus for performing machine learning tasks, and in particular, to computation-in-memory architectures. One aspect provides a method for in-memory computation. The method generally includes: accumulating, via each digital counter of a plurality of digital counters, output signals on a respective column of multiple columns of a memory, wherein a plurality of memory cells are on each of the multiple columns, the plurality of memory cells storing multiple bits representing weights of a neural network, wherein the plurality of memory cells of each of the multiple columns correspond to different word-lines of the memory; adding, via an adder circuit, output signals of the plurality of digital counters; and accumulating, via an accumulator, output signals of the adder circuit.
