IMC also improves the energy efficiency in these architectures. Another technique that has been explored to reduce the energy consumption is the use of approximate circuits, targeted toward error resilient applications. These applications have addition as one of their most frequently used operations. In literature, CMOS-based approximate adder libraries have been implemented to help designers choose from a variety of designs depending on the output quality requirements. However, the same is not true for memristor-based approximate adders targeted for IMC architectures. Hence, in this work, we developed a framework to generate approximate adder designs with varying output errors for the 8-, 12-, and 16-bit adders. We implemented a state-of-the-art scheduling algorithm to obtain the best mapping of these approximate adder designs for IMC. We performed an exhaustive design space exploration to obtain the pareto-optimal approximate adder designs for various design and error metrics. We then proposed IMAGIN, a library of approximate adders compatible with the memristor-based IMC architecture, which are based on the IMPLY and MAGIC design styles. We also performed mean filtering on the Kodak image dataset using the approximate adders from the IMAGIN library. IMAGIN can help designers select from a wide variety of approximate adders depending on the output quality requirements and serve as benchmarks for future research in this direction.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate four logic gate types (NOR, IMPLY, OR, NIMP) using commonly used PCM materials.

While various nonlinearity mitigation schemes have been proposed so far, only a few of them have dealt with high-weight update nonlinearity. This article presents a hardware-efficient on-chip weight update scheme named the conditional reverse update scheme (CRUS), which algorithmically mitigates highly nonlinear weight change in synaptic devices. For hardware efficiency, CRUS is implemented on-chip using low precision (1-bit) and infrequent circuit operations. To utilize algorithmic insights, the impact of the nonlinear weight update on training is investigated. We first introduce a metric called update noise (UN), which quantifies the deviation of the actual weight update in synaptic devices from the expected weight update calculated from the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm. Based on UN analysis, we aim to reduce AUN, the UN average over the entire training process. The key principle to reducing average UN (AUN) is to conditionally skip long-term depression (LTD) pulses during training. The trends of AUN and accuracy under various LTD skip conditions are investigated to find maximum accuracy conditions. By properly tuning LTD skip conditions, CRUS achieves >90% accuracy on the Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST) dataset even under high-weight update nonlinearity. Furthermore, it shows better accuracy than previous nonlinearity mitigation techniques under similar hardware conditions. It also exhibits robustness to cycle-to-cycle variations (CCVs) in conductance updates. The results suggest that CRUS can be an effective solution to relieve the algorithm-hardware tradeoff in CIM crossbar array design.","PeriodicalId":54149,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Exploratory Solid-State Computational Devices and Circuits","volume":"8 2","pages":"145-154"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/6570653/9969523/09940271.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42642779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hardware-level architecture of a DNN can be built using an in-memory computing-based design, which is loaded with the weights of a well-trained DNN model. However, such hardware-based DNN systems are vulnerable to model stealing attacks where an attacker reverse-engineers (REs) and extracts the weights of the DNN model. In this work, we propose an energy-efficient defense technique that combines a ferroelectric field effect transistor (FeFET)-based reconfigurable physically unclonable function (PUF) with an in-memory FeFET XNOR to thwart model stealing attacks. We leverage the inherent stochasticity in the FE domains to build a PUF that helps to corrupt the neural network’s (NN) weights when an adversarial attack is detected. We showcase the efficacy of the proposed defense scheme by performing experiments on graph-NNs (GNNs), a particular type of DNN. The proposed defense scheme is a first of its kind that evaluates the security of GNNs. We investigate the effect of corrupting the weights on different layers of the GNN on the accuracy degradation of the graph classification application for two specific error models of corrupting the FeFET-based PUFs and five different bioinformatics datasets. We demonstrate that our approach successfully degrades the inference accuracy of the graph classification by corrupting any layer of the GNN after a small rewrite pulse.","PeriodicalId":54149,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Exploratory Solid-State Computational Devices and Circuits","volume":"8 2","pages":"102-110"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/6570653/9969523/09930133.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43155261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the meantime, from the system perspective, non-von Neumann architectures, such as processing-in-memory (PIM), are extensively explored to overcome the bottleneck of modern computers, known as the memory wall, for high-performance energy-efficient integrated circuits. In this article, we propose functionally complete nonvolatile logic gates based on a two-transistor-two-resistive random access memory (RRAM) (2T2R) unit structure, which is then used to form a reconfigurable three-transistor-two-RRAM (3T2R) chain with programmable interconnects for complex combinational logic circuits, and a dense 3-D stacked memory array architecture. The design has a highly regular and symmetric structure, while operations are flexible yet simple, without the need of complicated peripheral circuitry or a third resistive state. Implementations of XNOR gate and full adder using 3T2R chain without extra routing/control gates or resistors are shown as demonstration examples of arithmetic unit design. The proposed computing scheme is intrinsic, efficient with superior performance in speed and area. Easily integrated as 3-D stacked array, the proposed memory architecture not only serves as regular 3-D memory array but also performs logic computation within the same layer and between the stacked layers.

However, deep neural network (DNN) implementations using HE are orders of magnitude slower than plaintext implementations. The use of very long polynomials and associated number theoretic transform (NTT) operations for polynomial multiplications is the main bottlenecks of HE implementation for practical uses. This article introduces RRAM number theoretic transform (RM-NTT): a resistive random access memory (RRAM)-based compute-in-memory (CIM) system to accelerate NTT and inverse NTT (INTT) operations. Instead of running fast Fourier transform (FFT)-like algorithms, RM-NTT uses a vector-matrix multiplication (VMM) approach to achieve maximal parallelism during NTT and INTT operations. To improve the efficiency, RM-NTT stores modified forms of the twiddle factors in the RRAM arrays to process NTT/INTT in the same RRAM array and employs a Montgomery reduction algorithm to convert the VMM results. The proposed optimization methods allow RM-NTT to significantly reduce NTT operation latency compared with other NTT accelerators, including both CIM and non-CIM-based designs.
