Programming analog memory elements in a neomorphic computing system
A method is disclosed herein which includes obtaining an array of analog memory elements. It also includes programming an analog memory element included in the array, where prior to being programmed the analog memory element has a first value for an electrical property, and where it is programmed to cause the analog memory element to perform a computation included in a series of computations performed by the array. Programming the analog memory element includes applying light or heat to the analog memory element, where a value of the electrical property is changed from the first value to a second value based upon application of light or heat to the analog memory element, and further where upon the value of the electrical property being changed from the first value to the second value, the analog memory element is configured to perform the computation responsive to receipt of an input.
Integrated circuit including asymmetric ending cells and system-on-chip including the same
An integrated circuit including first and second macroblocks arranged in a first direction, and a plurality of cells between the first macroblock and the second macroblock, the plurality of cells including at least one first ending cell adjacent to the first macroblock and having a first width in the first direction, at least one second ending cell adjacent to the second macroblock and having a second width different from the first width in the first direction, and at least one standard cell between the at least one first ending cell and the at least one second ending cell may be provided.
