Nonvolatile memristor as a new platform for non-von Neumann computing

Nonvolatile logic based on memristors provides a promising approach toward efficient Non-von Neumann computing. Here we propose a methodology employing hybrid bipolar-unipolar memristive circuits for efficient in-memory logic functions. By combining the features of bipolar and unipolar memristors, the proposed circuits are able to execute both fundamental Boolean logic and arithmetic computing with high reconfigurability and high parallelism, which compares favorably with existing methods of in-memory logic based on memristors. This work could thus pave the way for the development of new in-memory computing architecture with high efficiency.
