Memristor Based Circuits With Learning Capabilities

Dr. Vincent Derycke is researcher at the French national research organism CEA and head of Molecular Electronics Laboratory (LEM) group of the Laboratory of Condensed Matter Physics within the Saclay Institute of Matter and Radiation (IRAMIS).

Abstract

Nano-devices will emerge only if the technological variability inherent to their scale can be handled. With their intrinsic tolerance to defects and auto-compensation capabilities, neuromorphic architectures allow lifting this roadblock. Nano-memristors, which are non-volatile programmable resistors, are ideally suited to be used as synapses in such architectures. We aim at studying a new class of scaled-down organic memory devices, building arrays of such devices, interfacing these memory blocks with CMOS electronics, proposing the associated learning algorithms and implementing such architectures.

Non-Volatile CPU For Ultra Low-power & High-speed Computing (NVCPU)

Dr. Weisheng Zhao is research associate in the Spintronics group of the Fundamental Electronics Institute (IEF), Orsay, France.

Abstract

In this proposal, we plan to design a new computing architecture based processor by integrating non-volatile memory elements among the operators of treatment and making the processor non-volatile itself. This approach can completely overcome the power and speed bottlenecks of the Von-Neumann architecture due to the separation between memory and central processing unit. An ideal architecture, called "Logic in memory", will be in particular evaluated benefiting from the experimental demonstrations of emerging nonvolatile nanodevices like racetrack memory and Spin-RAM.
