Abstract(in English) Adiabatic quantum-flux-parametron (AQFP) logic is a promising technology for future energy-efficient,high performance information processing systems.It is a low power dissipation circuits in superconducting digital circuits.In this paper,we introduce an AQFP based binary neural network (BNN) design methodology utilizing an in-memory computing scheme,analog accumulation,and a crossbar structure.The proposed design can effectively resolve the memory issue in superconducting digital circuits by significantly reducing memory usage in a non-Von Neumann fashion compared to conventional neural networks.As a proof of concept,we designed and implemented an 8 × 8 AQFP BNN using the proposed design methodology targeting the AIST 10kA/cm2 4-layer niobium process.The Josephson junction count and energy dissipation of the proposed 8 × 8 BNN design are 2236 and 11.18 aJ,respectively
