1. An artificial intelligence (AI) computing system, comprising:
a memory interface for communication with a host processor;
a buffer memory in communication with the memory interface;
a plurality of memory modules, each memory module comprising one or more quasi-volatile memory circuits interconnected to at least one memory controller; and
an arithmetic function block in communication with the plurality of memory modules and performing multiply and accumulate functionalities using data stored in the memory modules and to generate an output data of the AI computing system,
wherein the plurality of memory modules are accessed to perform read, write and erase memory operations in a rotating manner in each computing cycle.
