Abstract:

A dual-port, dual function memory device can be configured to perform operations on data written to the memory device using artificial intelligence (AI) circuitry, such as a neuromorphic array and/or a deep learning accelerator (DLA), of the memory device. The memory device can include a port dedicated for communication between the AI circuitry and a host device and another port dedicated for communication between a memory array of the memory device and a host device. Performing operations, such as image processing operations, using AI circuitry of a memory device can reduce data transfers, reduce resource consumption, and offload workloads from a host device.
