CRAM-ER: Error-Resilient Spintronic Computational Random Access Memory for Scalable In-Memory Computation
arXiv:2606.02781v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance across diverse domains. However, typical Von Neumann compute paradigms face severe memory bottlenecks. Emerging near-memory and compute-in-memory approaches alleviate this but incur significant peripheral overhead. Computational Random Access Memory (CRAM) based on MRAM enables in-situ logic without peripheral overhead, offering a dense, energy-efficient solution. However, probabilistic MRAM switching induces gate-level errors that limit the scalability and reliability of CR
The increasing computational demands of AI, particularly deep neural networks, are pushing the limits of current Von Neumann architectures, necessitating innovations in memory and compute integration.
This research addresses fundamental bottlenecks in AI compute by proposing an error-resilient in-memory computation approach, potentially leading to more energy-efficient and scalable AI hardware.
The development of CRAM-ER suggests a pathway toward AI accelerators that overcome limitations of MRAM switching errors, enabling more reliable and dense in-situ logic for future AI systems.
