FeFET based Logic-in-Memory design methodologies, tools and open challenges

Le résumé fourni par la source

Data-centric applications such as Artificial Intelligence and IoT are putting stringent performance and energy efficiency constraints on hardware implementations of computing architectures. Computing in Memory paradigm appears as a viable approach to to address such constraints and ferroelectric FETs (FeFETs) push this paradigm at a finer grain by enabling the design of true non-volatile logic gates, by implementing tight combination of memory and logic called Logic-in-Memory (LiM). From the basic non-volatile logic gate design up to the application-level evaluation, several challenges have to be addressed.In this paper, we present a methodology to design complex operations such as cryptographic operations using FeFET, integrate them into a complete computing architecture and evaluate its benefits. Current challenges related to logic synthesis and tools for synthesis of these LiM structures will also be discussed.
