Abstract
Disclosed herein is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) processor. The AI processor includes multiple NVM AI cores for respectively performing basic unit operations required for a deep-learning operation based on data stored in NVM; SRAM for storing at least some of the results of the basic unit operations; and an AI core for performing an accumulation operation on the results of the basic unit operation.
Claims18
An Artificial Intelligence (AI) processing system, comprising:
- a Non-volatile Memory (NVM) array;
- one or more first operators for respectively performing primary operations required for a deep-learning operation based on data stored in the NVM array;
- on-chip memory for storing at least part of results of the primary operations;
- and
- a second operator for performing a subsequent operation using the results of the primary operations.
A method for processing a deep-learning operation, comprising:
- performing, by respective one or more first operators, primary operations required for a deep-learning operation based on data stored in a Non-volatile Memory (NVM) array;
- storing at least part of results of the primary operations in on-chip memory;
- and
- performing, by a second operator, a subsequent operation using the results of the primary operations.
