MARS: Multimacro Architecture SRAM CIM-Based Accelerator With Co-Designed Compressed Neural Networks

Cooperative Co-Evolving Neural Networks for Robosoccer Simulation

An accelerator for neural networks with pulse-coded model neurons

The labeling of features by synchronization of spikes seems to be a very efficient encoding scheme for a visual system. Simulation of a vision system with millions of pulse-coded model neurons, however, is almost impossible on the base of available processors including parallel processors and neurocomputers. A "one-to-one" silicon implementation of pulse-coded model neurons suffers from communi...

Computational Throughput of Accelerator Units with Application to Neural Networks

The size of data that can be fitted with a statistical model becomes restrictive when accounting for hidden dynamical effects, but approximations can be computed using loosely coupled computations mainly limited by computational throughput. This whitepaper describes scalability results attained by implementing one approximate approach using accelerator technology identified in the PRACE deliver...

Stitch-X: An Accelerator Architecture for Exploiting Unstructured Sparsity in Deep Neural Networks

Sparse deep neural network (DNN) accelerators exploit the intrinsic redundancy in data representation to achieve high performance and energy efficiency. However, sparse weight and input activation arrays are unstructured, and their processing cannot take advantage of the regular data-access patterns offered by dense arrays, thus the processing incurs increased complexities in dataflow orchestra...

Extending the Model Driven Architecture with a pre- CIM level

Whilst the successful alignment of business strategy and IT development is an important topic, there are still few ways that this is possible. The Model Driven Architecture (MDA) shows promise as an approach but is focussed firmly in the IT domain at the level of the Platform Independent and Platform Specific Models. The Computation Independent Model (CIM) is targetted at business users, but th...
