Abstract

In industrial IoT and distributed computing environments, edge computing devices empowered by AI have seen increasing deployment in large-scale scenarios, thereby accelerating the demand for time-series data processing. The gated recurrent unit (GRU) outperforms conventional artificial neural networks (ANNs) in tasks such as natural language processing, speech recognition, and machine translation, due to its superior capability in modeling long-range dependencies in sequential data. However, the GRU model is limited by its large parameter count and structural complexity, which presents a bottleneck in hardware circuit implementation. To this end, a memristor-based hybrid gated recurrent unit (HGRU) is proposed, which reduces the parameter count to 67% of the original GRU and shortens the single-step computation latency by 50%, while maintaining complete circuit functionality. Finally, the proposed memristor-based HGRU circuit model is evaluated on the MNIST digit recognition and IMDB sentiment analysis tasks, achieving recognition accuracies of 97% and 86.2%, respectively. Under equivalent parameter settings, it achieves runtime reductions of 37% and 52% compared to the standard GRU, thereby significantly enhancing computational efficiency.
边缘计算混合门控循环单元的忆阻电路演示
在工业物联网和分布式计算环境中,人工智能支持的边缘计算设备在大规模场景中的部署越来越多,从而加速了对时间序列数据处理的需求。门控循环单元(GRU)在自然语言处理、语音识别和机器翻译等任务中优于传统的人工神经网络(ann),因为它在序列数据的远程依赖关系建模方面具有优越的能力。然而,GRU模型受限于其庞大的参数数量和结构复杂性,这给硬件电路实现带来了瓶颈。为此,提出了一种基于忆阻器的混合门控循环单元(HGRU),在保持完整电路功能的同时,将参数数量减少到原GRU的67%,将单步计算延迟缩短50%。最后,基于记忆电阻的HGRU电路模型在MNIST数字识别和IMDB情感分析任务上进行了评估,识别准确率分别达到97%和86.2%。在同等参数设置下,与标准GRU相比,运行时间分别减少37%和52%,显著提高了计算效率。
