- Abstract
- A fully silicon-integrated restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) with an event-driven contrastive divergence (eCD) training algorithm is implemented using novel stochastic leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neuron circuits and six-transistor/2-PCM-resistor (6T2R) synaptic unit cells on 90 nm CMOS technology. To elaborate, designed a bidirectional, asynchronous, and parallel pulse-signaling scheme over an analog-weighted phase-change memory (PCM) synapse array to enable spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) as a local weight update rule based on eCD is designed. Building upon the initial version of this work, significantly more experimental details are added, such as the on-chip characterization results of LIF and backward-LIF (BLIF) and stochasticity of our random walk circuitry. The experimental characterization of these on-chip stochastic neuron circuits shows a reasonable symmetricity between LIF and BLIF as well as the necessary stochasticity for spiking RBM operation. Fully hardware-based image classification recorded 93% on-chip training accuracy from 100 handwritten MNIST digit images. In addition, we experimentally demonstrated the generative characteristics of the RBM by reconstructing partial patterns on hardware. As each synapse and neuron execute its computations in an asynchronous and fully parallel fashion, the chip can perform data-intensive machine learning (ML) tasks in a power-efficient manner and take advantage of the sparseness of spiking.
