👏Paper title: CIMFlow: An Integrated Framework for Systematic Design and Evaluation of Digital CIM Architectures
In this paper, we introduce CIMFlow, an integrated framework that systematically bridges compilation and simulation with a flexible ISA tailored for digital Compute-in-Memory (CIM) architectures. CIMFlow addresses critical design challenges such as limited SRAM capacity through advanced partitioning and parallelism strategies, providing comprehensive and flexible exploration capabilities for digital CIM architecture design. Compared to existing tools, CIMFlow significantly improves exploration flexibility and performance, achieving up to 2.8× speedup and 61.7% energy reduction across various deep learning workloads.
