摘要

本文提出了一种指数函数移位加算法的范围缩减方法。采用该方法和基数-16移位加算法的指数函数加速器已在中芯55nm CMOS工艺上实现。与现有方法相比,该方法在16位精度和32位精度下的延迟(周期)分别减少33%和20%;从而将吞吐量提高到50mexp /exp,并将功耗降低到4.6 pj /exp。此外,由于采用了改进算法单元,该方法节省了面积。该指数加速器被认为是用于spikingneuralnetwork建模的神经形态芯片。

An exponential function accelerator with radix-16 algorithm for spiking neural networks
A range reduction method for shift-and-add algorithms for exponential functions is proposed in this paper. An exponential function accelerator with this method and radix-16 shift-and-add algorithm has been implemented in SMIC 55 nm CMOS process. Compared with the existing method, the proposed method reduces the latency (cycles) by 33% and 20% for 16 and 32-bit precision results, respectively; thereby increasing the throughputto50Mexp/sandreducingthepowerconsumptionto4.6pJ/exp.Inaddition,thismethodsavesdieareasincenoarithmeticunitsareadopted.Thisexponentialacceleratorissupposedtobeusedinaneuromorphicchipforspikingneuralnetworkmodeling.
