VECTOR-BY-MATRIX MULTIPLIER MODULES BASED ON NON-VOLATILE 2D AND 3D MEMORY ARRAYS

摘要

Embodiments related to nonvolatile memory devices each having a charge storage, an activation input, a signal input and signal output to output an output signal when the activation input receives an activation signal. The output signal is in a range that is based on a charge stored in the charge storage, the activation signal applied to the activation input, and the input signal received at the signal input. The nonvolatile memory devices are arranged in a two dimensional (XY) layer that has horizontal rows in a first dimension (X) and vertical columns in a second dimension (Y), the activation inputs of memory devices of each row are connected to a same activation input. The memory devices of the columns have signal inputs connected to signal outputs of memory devices in the row above and have signal outputs connected to the signal inputs of memory devices in the row below.
