Analog Computation-In-Memory (CIM) architectures promise to bring to the edge the required compute and memory demands of TinyML applications while consuming extremely low power. However, the analog CIM paradigm is suitable for accelerating vector-matrix multiplication patterns alone, and the accurac...
