Abstract:
A device, system, product and method of controlling resistive processing units (RPUs), includes applying an input voltage signal to each node of an array of resistive processing units, and controlling a learning rate of the array of resistive processing units by varying an amplitude of the input voltage signal to the array of resistive processing units. A conductance state of the array of resistive processing units is varied according to the amplitude received at each of the resistive processing units of the array of resistive processing units. The controlling of the amplitude of input voltage signal is according to a processor of a control device.
