An in memory processor is not simply a processor in a memory array. It's more like a processor based on cellular automata where each memory cell also performs computation.
- tbrownaw 9y agoNot sure how state machines / cellular automata tie in to analog processing. Am I missing something, or is the article mixing things up?
- mywittyname 9y agoMy thinking is that analog signals are a more natural and effective processing medium for hardware neural nets. The "memory" component of the chip might be constant signals representing the weight of each (initial) connection in the network, which amplifies the down-stream signal. Contrast this with digital circuits where the amplification of each transistor is a high/low signal from an upstream transistor which represents a 0/1, making it a switch.
