Energy-Accuracy Trade-Offs for Resistive In-Memory Computing Architectures

Abstract:Resistive in-memory computing (IMC) architectures currently lag behind SRAM IMCs and digital accelerators in both energy efficiency and compute density due to their low compute accuracy. This paper proposes the use of signal-to-noise-plus-distortion ratio (SNDR) to quantify the compute accuracy of IMCs and identify the device, circuit, and architectural parameters that affect it. We further analyze the fundamental limits on the SNDR of MRAM, ReRAM, and FeFET-based IMCs employing parameter variation and noise m… Show more
