Abstract

We report a new approach to ONNs based on integrated Kerr micro-combs that is programmable, highly scalable and capable of reaching ultra-high speeds. We demonstrate a single neuron perceptron at 11.9 Giga-OPS at 8 bits per OP, or 95.2 Gbps. We then demonstrate a convolutional accelerator operating beyond 11 TeraOPs/s. We test the perceptron on handwritten-digit recognition and cancer-cell detection-achieving over 90% and 85% accuracy, respectively.
