A new technical paper titled “Achieving software-equivalent accuracy for hyperdimensional computing with ferroelectric-based in-memory computing” by researchers at University of Notre Dame, Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems, University of California Irvine, and Technische Universität Dresden.
“We present a multi-bit IMC system for HDC using ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FeFETs) that simultaneously achieves software-equivalent-accuracies, reduces the dimensionality of the HDC system, and improves energy consumption by 826x and latency by 30x when compared to a GPU baseline. Furthermore, for the first time, we experimentally demonstrate multi-bit, array-level content-addressable memory (CAM) operations with FeFETs. We also present a scalable and efficient architecture based on CAMs which supports the associative search of large HVs. Furthermore, we study the effects of device, circuit, and architectural-level non-idealities on application-level accuracy with HDC,” states the paper.
