ReRAM neural networks with focus on intensive matrix multiplication operations. ReRAM-crossbar network can be used as matrix-vector multiplication accelerator and then to illustrate the detailed mapping. The coupled ReRAM oscillator network can be applied for low-power and high-throughput L2-norm calculation. The 3D single-layer CMOS-ReRAM architecture will be used for tensorized neural network (TNN). A 3D multilayer CMOS-ReRAM architecture has advantages in three man-ifold. First, by utilizing ReRAM crossbar for input data storage, leakage power of memory is largely removed. In a 3D architecture with TSV interconnection, the bandwidth from this layer to next layer is sufficiently large to perform parallel computation. Second, ReRAM crossbar can be configured as computational units for the matrix-vector multiplication with high parallelism and low power. Lastly, with an additional layer of CMOS-ASIC, more complicated tasks such as division and non-linear mapping can be performed. As a result, the whole training process of ML can be fully mapped to the proposed 3D multilayer CMOS-ReRAM accelerator architecture towards real-time training and testing.
