Efficient Memory

In this study, a simple and effective memory system required for the implementation of an AI chip is proposed. To implement an AI chip, the use of internal or external memory is an essential factor, because the reading and writing of data in memory occurs a lot. Those memory systems that are currently used are large in design size and complex to implement in order to handle a high speed and a wide bandwidth. Therefore, depending on the AI application, there are cases where the circuit size of the memory system is larger than that of the AI core. In this study, SDRAM, which has a lower performance than the currently used memory system but does not have a problem in operating AI, was used and all circuits were implemented digitally for simple and efficient implementation. In particular, a delay controller was designed to reduce the error due to data skew inside the memory bus to ensure stability in reading and writing data. First of all, it verified the memory system based on the You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm in FPGA to confirm that the memory system proposed in AI works efficiently. Based on the proven memory system, we implemented a chip using Samsung Electronics’ 65 nm process and tested it. As a result, we designed a simple and efficient memory system for AI chip implementation and verified it with hardware.

Efficient Memory

Memory is becoming one of the major power consumers in computing systems. Therefore, energy efficient memory management is essential. Modern memory systems employ sleep states for energy saving. To utilize this feature, existing research activities have concentrated on increasing spatial locality to deactivate as many blocks as possible. However, they did not count the unexpected activation of memory blocks due to cache eviction of deactivated tasks. In this paper, we suggest a software-based power state management scheme for memory, which exploits temporal locality to relieve the energy loss from the unexpected activation of memory blocks from cache eviction. The suggested scheme SW-NAP makes a memory block remain deactivated during a certain tick, which has no cache miss over the block. The evaluation shows that SW-NAP is 50% better than PAVM, which is an existing software scheme, and worse than PMU, which is another approach based on the specialized hardware by 20%. We also suggest task scheduling policies that increase the effectiveness of SW-NAP and they saved up to 7% additional energy.

Moderating Factors

AbstractWe agree with Christiansen & Chater (C&C) that language processing and acquisition are tightly constrained by the limits of sensory and memory systems. However, the human brain supports a range of cognitive functions that mitigate the effects of information processing bottlenecks. The language system is partly organised around these moderating factors, not just around restrictions on storage and computation.
