CASPER — Configurable design space exploration of programmable architectures for machine learning using beyond moore devices

This research proposes a novel approach with vertical design space exploration (DSE) of several levels of configurable architecture design using Beyond Moore devices. ferrimagnets, Multistate Electrostatically Formed Nanowire transistors (MSET), and Magnetoresistive Random Access Memories (MRAM) are first set of devices used to explore the architectural space. Machine Learning (ML) and other scientific applications are accelerated using these architectures.
