S-FLASH: A NAND Flash-Based Deep Neural Network Accelerator Exploiting Bit-Level Sparsity

The processing in-memory (PIM) approach that combines memory and processor appears to solve the memory wall problem. NAND flash memory, which is widely adopted in edge devices, is one of the promising platforms for PIM with its high-density property and the intrinsic ability for analog vector-matrix multiplication. Despite its potential, the domain conversion process, which converts an analog curr...
