This is the first of two videos on the ISAAC analog accelerator for deep neural networks. The video is based on the ISCA 2016 paper "ISAAC: A Convolutional Neural Network Accelerator with In-Situ Analog Arithmetic in Crossbars" by A. Shafiee et al. Part I introduces the memristor crossbar unit, its inherent challenges, and how ADC overheads and precision can be managed.
