A Calibratable Model for Fast Energy Estimation of MVM Operations on RRAM Crossbars
arxiv(2024)
摘要
The surge in AI usage demands innovative power reduction strategies. Novel
Compute-in-Memory (CIM) architectures, leveraging advanced memory technologies,
hold the potential for significantly lowering energy consumption by integrating
storage with parallel Matrix-Vector-Multiplications (MVMs). This study
addresses the 1T1R RRAM crossbar, a core component in numerous CIM
architectures. We introduce an abstract model and a calibration methodology for
estimating operational energy. Our tool condenses circuit-level behaviour into
a few parameters, facilitating energy assessments for DNN workloads. Validation
against low-level SPICE simulations demonstrates speedups of up to 1000x and
energy estimations with errors below 1
