Intelligent Memories that Perform Inference with the Physics of Nanodevices

Cognitive tasks are increasingly necessary in modern electronics. The energy efficiency of associated algorithms, which rely on abundant stored parameters, is severely limited by the separation of computation and memory elements in conventional computers. In NANOINFER, I will directly address this challenge by developing intelligent memory chips that natively perform both memory and computing functions, using CMOS and emerging nanodevices. These chips will perform modern Bayesian inference algorithms, which allow cognitive-type reasoning. The project includes theoretical investigations as well as intelligent memory chip designs, which will be supported by proof-of-concept experimental…
