Imec presents a manufacturable solution for field-free switching operation of Spin-Orbit Torque MRAM devices
KYOTO (Japan), JUNE 13, 2019 — This week, at the 2019 Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits (June 9-14, 2019), imec, a world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, demonstrates field-free switching operation of spin-orbit torque MRAM (SOT-MRAM) devices – eliminating the need for an external magnetic field during write operation. The concept is manufacturing-friendly and does not compromise the reliability and sub-ns writing performance of the SOT-MRAM devices. The new field-free switching concept opens possibilities for the further development of MRAM-based technologies and non-volatile logic and memory applications (such as non-volatile latch circuits and flip-flops).
InAccel releases open-source Logistic Regression IP core for FPGAs
Machine learning algorithms are extremely computationally intensive and time consuming when they must be trained on large amounts of data. Typical processors are not optimized for machine learning applications and therefore offer limited performance. Therefore, both academia an industry is focused on the development of specialized architectures for the efficient acceleration of machine learning applications.
FPGAs are programmable chips that can be configured with tailored-made architectures optimized for specific applications. As FPGAs are optimized for specific tasks, they offer higher performance and lower energy consumption compared with general purpose CPUs … Read More → "InAccel releases open-source Logistic Regression IP core for FPGAs"
