Abstract:
There are disclosed devices, system and methods for a vector-by-matrix multiplier (VMM) module having a three-dimensional memory matrix of nonvolatile memory devices each having a charge storage, an activation input, a signal input and an output signal in a range that is based on a stored charge and an input signal during assertion of the activation signal. The memory devices are arranged in two dimensional (XY) layers that are vertically disposed along (Z) columns. The activation inputs of each layer are connected to a same activation signal, the memory devices of rows in a first dimension (X) of each layer have signal inputs connected to different input signals and have signal outputs connected in series to a common output. The memory devices of rows in a second dimension (Y) of each layer have signal inputs connected to a set of the same inputs along the first dimension.

Claim (Index 20):
The module of  claim 17 , further comprising:\n activation circuitry to provide the signals to bias the nonvolatile memory devices in a selected layer in a read mode during operation so there would be no change in the charge storage of the nonvolatile memory devices and so that the nonvolatile memory devices operate in analog mode to have output signals which are dot products of weights stored in the charge storages and VMM module input signals.
