BRIM: Workload-Balanced Dual-Sided Bit-Serial Sparse Inference Accelerator

Varun Manjunath, Ruokai Yin, Donghyun Lee, Arkapravo Ghosh, Priyadarshini Panda

Bit-serial accelerators exploit bit-level sparsity to reduce DNN inference cost, but existing designs exploit sparsity on only one operand, bounding the speedup. Extending sparsity exploitation to both operands simultaneously yields compounding reductions in partial products but…Read more
