Tohoku University and Aisin embed STT-MRAM for faster AI edge inference

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers from Tohoku University, in collaboration with automotive supplier Aisin, have developed a new method for AI edge inference by embedding 32MB of STT-MRAM directly onto a 16nm TSMC chip. This integration eliminates the need for external DRAM, resulting in significantly reduced inference times of 58.5ms and boot times of 65.7ms. The innovation also boasts an energy efficiency of 50.7mJ/frame, demonstrating the production readiness of non-volatile memory for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). AI

IMPACT This development could lead to more efficient and faster AI processing at the edge, impacting the performance and capabilities of devices like autonomous vehicles.
