Abstract
The disclosure is related to systems, apparatuses, devices, and methods for parallel operations in computing systems that may be useful for heavy AI training and inference workloads. The disclosed technology provides arrangements for efficient computation. In some implementations, a compute-in-memory (CIM) device or macro is configured to perform vector matrix multiplication (VMM) operations between a vector of activation values and a matrix of weight values. A column cell in the CIM macro has bitcells are configured to store weight values and other bitcells are configured to store weight values that are different from the first weight valuse. The CIM macro is further configured to perform, in parallel, read/write operations to the first set of bitcells and the VMM operation in the second set of bitcells based on a weight select signal.
