NIFA: Nonlinear IMC enhanced FPGA for efficient ML inference

Recent FPGAs have improved deep learning (DL) inference efficiency through dedicated tensor blocks and in-BRAM computation. ReRAM-based analog in-memory computing (IMC) pushes efficiency further, offering an order-of-magnitude improvement in compute density and energy efficiency over conventional digital logic by performing vector-matrix multiplication (VMM) directly within the ReRAM crossbar; prior work has integrated such IMC blocks into FPGAs for DL inference. However, conventional IMC designs support only static-weight VMM, leaving nonlinear operations and dynamic matrix-matrix multiplicat
