Popis:	Oscillator neural networks (ONN) based on arrays of 26 CMOS ring oscillators designed and fabricated. ONN are used for inference of dot products with image fragments and kernels necessary for convolutional neural networks. The inputs are encoded as frequency shifts of oscillators using current DACs. Degree of match (DOM) is determined from oscillators synchronization. Measurements demonstrate high correlation of DOM and dot products. Inference requires the time of 8ns and energy of 55pJ. Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures
