Abstract:We present a design-technology tradeoff analysis in implementing machine-learning inference on the processing cores of a Non-Volatile Memory (NVM)-based many-core neuromorphic hardware. Through detailed circuit-level simulations for scaled process technology nodes, we show the negative impact of design scaling on read endurance of NVMs, which directly impacts their inference lifetime. At a finer granularity, the inference lifetime of a core depends on 1) the resistance state of synaptic weights programmed on t… Show more
