NeuroSim V1.5: Improved Software Backbone for Benchmarking Compute-in-Memory Accelerators with Device and Circuit-level Non-idealities

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2505.02314v2 Announce Type: replace-cross The exponential growth of artificial intelligence (AI) applications has exposed the inefficiency of conventional von Neumann architectures, where frequent data transfers between compute units and memory create significant energy and latency bottlenecks. Analog Computing-in-Memory (ACIM) addresses this challenge by performing multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations directly in the memory arrays, substantially reducing data movement. However, designing robust ACIM accelerators requires accurate modeling of device- and circuit-level non-idealities.
