Temperature-Aware Monolithic 3D DNN Accelerators for Biomedical Applications

Emerging Technologies 2022-03-31 v1 Hardware Architecture

Abstract

In this paper, we focus on temperature-aware Monolithic 3D (Mono3D) deep neural network (DNN) inference accelerators for biomedical applications. We develop an optimizer that tunes aspect ratios and footprint of the accelerator under user-defined performance and thermal constraints, and generates near-optimal configurations. Using the proposed Mono3D optimizer, we demonstrate up to 61% improvement in energy efficiency for biomedical applications over a performance-optimized accelerator.
