A general tree-based machine learning accelerator with memristive analog CAM
2022 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS)(2022)
摘要
Deep learning models have reached high accuracy in multiple classification tasks. However these models lack explainability, namely the capability of understanding why a certain class is chosen along with the class predicted. On the other hand, tree-based models are top performers in several applications, particularly when the training set is limited, while also being more explainable. However, tree-based models are difficult to accelerate with conventional digital hardware due to irregular memory access patterns. Here we show a tree-based ML accelerator based on a novel analog content addressable memory with memristor devices, capable of handling multiple types of bagging and boosting techniques common in tree-based algorithms. Our results show a large improvement of $\sim 60 \times $ lower latency and $160 \times $ reduced energy consumption compared to the state of the art, demonstrating the promise of our accelerator approach.
