摘要
Artificial intelligence(AI)processes data-centric applications with minimal effort.However,it poses new challenges to system design in terms of computational speed and energy efficiency.The traditional von Neumann architecture cannot meet the requirements of heavily datacentric applications due to the separation of computation and storage.The emergence of computing inmemory(CIM)is significant in circumventing the von Neumann bottleneck.A commercialized memory architecture,static random-access memory(SRAM),is fast and robust,consumes less power,and is compatible with state-of-the-art technology.This study investigates the research progress of SRAM-based CIM technology in three levels:circuit,function,and application.It also outlines the problems,challenges,and prospects of SRAM-based CIM macros.
