Neural network computation circuit including semiconductor memory element, and method of operation
Connection weight coefficients to be used in a neural network computation are stored in a memory array. A word line drive circuit drives a word line corresponding to input data of a neural network. A column selection circuit connects to a computation circuit bit lines to which a connection weight coefficient to be computed is connected. The computation circuit determines the sum of cell currents flowing in the bit lines. A result of the determination made by the computation circuit is stored in an output holding circuit, and is set as an input of a neural network in the next layer, to the word line drive circuit. A control circuit instructs the word line drive circuit and the column selection circuit to select the word line and the bit line to be used in the neural network computation, based on information held in a network configuration information holding circuit.

Full multi-plane operation enablement
Methods, systems, and devices for full multi-plane operation enablement are described. A flash controller can determine that a first plane of a set of planes of a memory die is an invalid plane. The flash controller can issue a single descriptor associated with a multi-plane operation for the set of planes of the memory die. The single descriptor can include a plurality of commands for the multi-plane operation in which the first command of the plurality of commands can be a duplicate of a second command of the plurality of commands based on the first plane being the invalid plane. In some cases, a negative-and (NAND) controller can receive the single descriptor associated with the multi-plane operation for the set of planes of a memory die. The NAND controller can issue a plurality of commands for the multi-plane operation based on receiving the single descriptor.
