Thermal-Aware Layout Optimization and Mapping Methods for Resistive Neuromorphic Engines

Resistive neuromorphic engines can accelerate spiking neural network tasks with memristor crossbars. However, the stored weight is influenced by the temperature, which leads to accuracy and endurance degradation. The higher the temperature is, the larger the influence is. In this work, we propose a cross-array mapping method and a layout optimization method to reduce the thermal effect with the co...
