DEVICE AND METHOD WITH IN-MEMORY COMPUTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134606 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD WITH IN-MEMORY COMPUTING

Simplified Explanation

The memory device described in the abstract includes a computing module and an in-memory computing (imc) macro. The imc macro consists of a memory with bit cells storing fraction data of a first data set, and an imc computing module that performs operations between the fraction data of the first data set and a second data set received from an input control module. The first data set and the second data set have pieces of data with shared exponents.

  • Explanation of the patent/innovation:
   * Computing module and in-memory computing macro for processing fraction data sets.
   * Memory stores fraction data of a first data set.
   * IMC computing module performs operations between data sets.
   * First data set and second data set have shared exponents.
