Memristive crossbar arrays perform multiply–accumulate operations by utilizing physical laws, boosting power efficiency and computing throughput. Based on ionic motion, memristive devices are also bio-realistic emulators for artificial neurons and synapses. In this talk, I will first introduce a computing memristor for analog in-memory computing. I will then showcase an AI accelerator made by integrating memristive crossbars with CMOS circuitry. Finally, I will discuss a diffusive memristor and its application in neuromorphic engineering.
This event is a joint Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL) and AI Hardware Program Seminar.
