Computation-in-memory architecture based on resistive devices

Deliverables

Refined CIM architecture

Final ISA specification of the whole CIM architecture including the instruction set simulator.

Report on mapping of micro-kernels to macro-architecture

This report will detail the methods used to map micro-kernels selected and developed as part of WP1 onto the macro architecture. The report will define performance metrics for the mapping, report different methods used throughout the project and compare their efficiencies.

First version parallelizing orchestrating compiler targeting CIM micro-instructions

The parallelizing compiler for the CIM architecture will embed skeleton-based and polyhedral compilation techniques into a flexible mapping and code generation framework. The first version of this parallelizing compiler will focus on orchestrating the CIM micro-instructions over the complete architecture, including data layout and the management of data transfer.

First version programming interface at the micro- and macro-levels

Description of micro and macro instruction set.

Initial memristor crossbar based logic/ arithmetic and memory designs and models

The memory compiler models of IMEC will incorporate a few most promising non-volatile memory models, together with behavioural models for sense amplifiers and column/row decoder circuits. These models therefore overcome the limitations of NVSim by generating power/performance/area data which can be applied to a wide range of in-memory computing architecture exploration.

Refined CIM microarchitecture

The technology-aware microarchitecture simulator framework of IMEC will be further extended to incorporate the additional features in the macro-architecture simulator developed of WP 3 and the additional memory compiler models from D4.5 We will also use it for extensive T-A-E design space explorations.

Initial communication protocols and infrastructure

In this report, we will detail the results that will describe the circuits and methods to allow efficient data transfer between tiles and the outside world. The report will detail the challenges, and list the potential solutions that were considered. The circuits methods described in this report will form the basis of the initial system being developed I the project, which will then be refined throughout the project.

First version backend compiler for micro-instructions

First compiler generation of micro instruction for the CIM file.

Final report on new algorithmic solutions

Refine and optimize the new algorithms for the targeted applications while considering the features of the CIM architecture and learning from the results of WP2, WP3 and WP4.

Initial models of memristive device

Based on experimental memristive device characteristics and existing physical device models that are mainly based on continuum models, physical and/or behavioural compact models will be derived for use in circuit simulation. This activity includes model building for both ReRAM devices (RTWH) and PCM devices (IBM), while IMEC will bring in their models as “blackboxes”.

Complete parallelization, orchestration and compilation flow

The deliverable will describe the matured prototypes described in D2.2 and D2.3 and their integration into a unified flow. The flow will be made available to all participants ahead of delivery time and early evaluation will complement the description.

Refined models of memristive device

The initial models will be refined in order to include device “imperfections” as variability, degradation and disturb, as well as statistical property distributions as these will strongly influence the logic performance.

Refined memristor crossbar based logic and memory design and models

The memory compiler models of IMEC will be extended and refined to include more emerging NVM options that are of most promise during this 2nd half of the project.

Report on targeted applications, their specifications, requirements

The report will describe some highly relevant problems arising in the emerging fields of cognitive computing and internet of things (IoT) that could benefit from implementation on non-von Neumann computing architecture based on the computation-in-memory (CIM) dies. The CIM dies could implement digital memristive logic or perform certain arithmetic operations such as vector-matrix multiplication. The report will also describe the application-specific requirements on the CIM dies.

Initial CIM microarchitecture

To enable the technology-aware microarchitecture simulator framework for detailed in-memory computing trade-off exploration, in WP4 a bridge has to be created between the macro-architecture simulator developed as part of WP 3 and the memory compiler models from D4.4.

First report on new algorithmic solutions

Develop new algorithms for the targeted applications while considering the features of the new CIM architecture.

Initial macro CIM architecture and CIM-ISA

Initial ISA description for the whole CIM architecture based on the requirements from D1.1

Promotional material

Material for publicity and promotion including a project leaflet, a poster, a powerpoint presentation and a short film.

Project website

A project website will be designed, including an external facing website and an internal facing secure cloud storage.
