A Novel Convolution Computing Paradigm Based on NOR Flash Array with High Computing Speed and Energy Efficient

A novel convolution computing paradigm based on the NOR Flash Array is proposed. Significant improvements both in computing speed and energy consumption are achieved compared to CMOS-based logic computing paradigms. Regarding to the feature extraction task from a 256×256 image, the computing speed of 3.9×10
⁴
frame per second (fps) and the energy consumption of 0.057nJ/pixel are achieved using the proposed computing paradigm.
