Inferencing, Fast and Slow with Ultra-scaled Phase-Change Devices
A major challenge for deep learning inference is the high energy demand required to retrieve large amounts of synaptic weight data from memory. One promising approach to address this is the use of conductance-based devices, such as non-volatile phase-change memory, to develop chips with stationary synaptic weights. However, two key obstacles remain: enhancing the computational capabilities and increasing the energy efficiency of these devices. INFUSED tackles both issues through groundbreaking device innovation. By utilizing the physics of ultra-scaled materials, it pushes energy efficiency closer to its theoretical limits. Moreover, it introduces dual neurally-plausible temporal dynamics,…
