BinSparX: Sparsified Binary Neural Networks for Reduced Hardware Non-Idealities in Xbar Arrays
December 2024 • Akul Malhotra, Sumeet Kumar Gupta
Compute-in-memory (CiM)-based binary neural network (CiM-BNN) accelerators marry the benefits of CiM and ultra-low precision quantization, making them highly suitable for edge computing. However, CiM-enabled crossbar (Xbar) arrays are plagued with hardware non-idealities like parasitic resistances and device non-linearities that impair inference accuracy, especially in scaled technologies. In this work, we first analyze the impact of Xbar non-idealities on the inference accuracy of various CiM-BNNs, establishing t…
