SRAM-Based Compute-in-Memory Accelerator for Linear-decay Spiking Neural Networks

Researchers developed an SRAM-based compute-in-memory accelerator for spiking neural networks that uses linear decay approximation instead of exponential decay, achieving 1.1x to 16.7x reduction in energy consumption. The innovation addresses the bottleneck of neuron state updates in neuromorphic computing by performing in-place decay directly within memory arrays.
