US Patent 10360971 Artificial neural network functionality within dynamic random-access memory

Techniques are disclosed for artificial neural network functionality within dynamic random-access memory. A plurality of dynamic random-access cells is accessed within a memory block. Data within the plurality of dynamic random-access cells is sensed using a plurality of sense amplifiers associated with the plurality of dynamic random-access cells. A plurality of select lines coupled to the plurality of sense amplifiers is activated to facilitate the sensing of the data within the plurality of dynamic random-access cells, wherein the activating is a function of inputs to a layer within a neural network, and wherein a bit within the plurality of dynamic random-access cells is sensed by a first sense amplifier and a second sense amplifier within the plurality of sense amplifiers. Resulting data is provided based on the activating wherein the resulting data is a function of weights within the neural network.
