SqueezeLight: Towards Scalable Optical Neural Networks with Multi-Operand Ring Resonators

Optical neural networks (ONNs) have demonstrated promising potentials for next-generation artificial intelligence acceleration with ultra-low latency, high bandwidth, and low energy consumption. However, due to high area cost and lack of efficient sparsity exploitation, previous ONN designs fail to provide scalable and efficient neuromorphic computing, which hinders the practical implementation of...
