An Exploration of the Impact of Mapping Style and Device Roadmap on Simulated ReRAM Architectures for Neuromorphic Computing
share
This paper investigates the relationship between mapping style and device roadmap in Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM) architectures for neuromorphic computing. The study leverages simulations using DNN+NeuroSim to evaluate the impact of different parameters on chip performance, including latency, energy consumption, and overall system efficiency. The results demonstrate that novel mapping techniques and a high-performance (HP) device roadmap are optimal if energy and speed considerations are weighted equally. This is because as the study demonstrates, HP devices provide a latency cut that outsizes the energy cost. Additionally, adopting novel mapping in the device cuts latency by nearly 30 The findings highlight the importance of considering mapping style and device roadmap in optimizing ReRAM architectures for neuromorphic computing, which may contribute to advancing the practical implementation of ReRAM in computational systems.
