Design Tools for Resistive Crossbar based Machine Learning Accelerators

Resistive crossbar based accelerators for Machine Learning (ML) have attracted great interest as they offer the prospect of high density on-chip storage as well as efficient in-memory matrix-vector multiplication (MVM) operations. Despite their promises, they present several design challenges, such as high write costs, overhead of analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters and other periph...
