CONFIGURABLE COMPUTING-IN-MEMORY (CIM) FOR POWER CONTROL
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250111215 titled 'CONFIGURABLE COMPUTING-IN-MEMORY (CIM) FOR POWER CONTROL
Original Abstract Submitted
a method can include determining which computing units in a computing-in-memory (cim) macro are to be turned off, the cim macro including an array of the computing units with x rows and y columns, the x rows of computing units being organized into n row-groups, each row-group including multiple rows of computing units, the y columns of computing units being organized into m column-groups, each column-group including multiple columns of computing units, based on the determination of which computing units in the cim macro are to be turned off, turning off at least one row-group or column-group of computing units, each row-group and column-group of computing units being separately controllable to be turned off, and performing a computation based on kernel weights and activations of a neural network stored in the active computing units in the cim macro that are not turned off.
