3D stacked integrated circuits having functional blocks configured to accelerate artificial neural network (ANN) computation

摘要

A three-dimensional stacked integrated circuit (3D SIC) for implementing an artificial neural network (ANN) having a non-volatile memory die including an array of non-volatile memory partitions, wherein each partition of the array of non-volatile memory partitions is configured to store first parameters of a set of neurons. The 3D SIC also has a volatile memory die including an array of volatile memory partitions, wherein each partition of the array of volatile memory partitions is configured to store second parameters of the set of neurons. The 3D SIC also has a processing logic die including an array of processing logic partitions. Each one of the partitions of the array of processing logic partitions is configured to receive input data and process the input data according to the set of neurons to generate output data.
