ML and Memories: A Complex Relationship

March 13th, 2019 – By Bernard Murphy

How do AI architectures connect with memories? The answer is more complex than in conventional SoC architectures.

No, I’m not going to talk about in in-memory-compute architectures. There’s interesting work being done there but here I’m going to talk here about mainstream architectures for memory support in Machine Learning (ML) designs. These are still based on conventional memory components/IP such as cache, register files, SRAM and various flavors of off-chip memory, including not yet “conventional” high-bandwidth memory (HBM). However, the way these memories are organized, connected and located can vary quite significantly between ML applications.
