主 题:Memristor Computation-in-memory Mathematical morphology Defect detection
摘 要:Mathematical morphology operations are widely used in image processing such as defect analysis in semiconductor manufacturing and medical image *** data-intensive applications have high requirements during hardware implementation that are challenging for conventional hardware platforms such as central processing units(CPUs)and graphics processing units(GPUs).Computation-in-memory(CIM)provides a possible solution for highly efficient morphology *** this study,we demonstrate the application of morphology operation with a novel memristor-based auto-detection architecture and demonstrate non-neuromoq)hic computation on a multi-array-based memristor ***-by-pixel logic computations with low parallelism are converted to parallel operations using ***,hardware-implemented computer-integrated manufacturing was used to experimentally demonstrate typical defect detection tasks in integrated circuit(IC)manufacturing and medical image *** addition,we developed a new implementation scheme employing a four-layer network to realize small-object detection with high *** system benchmark based on the hardware measurement results showed significant improvement in the energy efficiency by approximately 358 times and 32 times more than when a CPU and GPU were employed,respectively,exhibiting the advantage of the proposed memristor-based morphology operation.
