Is it Logic or Memory? - Blurring the Gap

The performance gap between logic and memory has long been a challenge for system architects. However, the emergence of new technologies such as 2D cross-point memories, Ferroelectric FETs, monolithic 3D integration promise to blur the gap between memory and logic. This talk will introduce fundamentals of these devices and associated circuits that enable computational logic to be embedded within memory. Finally, the relevance of such in-memory compute fabrics for emerging workloads in machine learning and internet-of-things applications will be discussed.
