HP has (finally!) announced a collaboration, with Hynix Semiconductor of Korea, to bring Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM) to commercial development: The two companies will jointly develop new materials and process integration technology to transfer the memristor technology from research to commercial development in the form of Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM). Hynix will implement [...]
The 2010 Internet of Things Conference this year November 29 thru December 1, 2010 should be exciting, given the prolific spread and miniaturization of sensors over the past year. The theme is “Internet of Things for a Green Planet”, so get out your pollution sensors. Visit http://www.iot2010.org/ for full details, and for registration. This years [...]
The NY Times has a good summary article on the emerging memory industry, with Rice University and PrivaTran, one of the early producers of the Rice 5nm silicon oxide switches, being put head to head with HP’s memristors and Intel, I.B.M., Numonyx and Samsungs phase change memory push: H.P. has for several years been making [...]
Synaptic plasticity modeling may have another boost forward with a recent paper proposal from two Eastern researchers. In “Bottleneck of using single memristor as a synapse and its solution”, researchers Farnood Merrikh-Bayat and Saeed Bagheri Shouraki have stated they were able to more closely model a Hebbian synaptic plasticity model by demonstrating the phenomena under [...]
Sometimes small news can be bigger than big news. Sandisk is lending support to miniaturizing IC embedded hard drives for small SSD sizes less, between 4Gb and 64GB. The SATA interfaced iSSD is designed for efficient integration with low power consumption and mobile/netbook type devices: Performance: Sequential R/W up to 160 MB/s / 100 MB/s [...]
The analog, threshold, and probabilistic computing event horizon inches ever closer to market… Lyric Semiconductor has released their “LEC™ for Flash Memory” [link]. Along with their other probabilistic focused processing products, they’re at the forefront of implementing an important layer for future memristor based circuits. As probabilistic math gets implemented in more products like these [...]
Emerging technology provides a unique opportunity to introduce science within education. The development of Memristors, the fourth passive component type after resistors, capacitors and inductors, along with other Solid State memory devices, takes us one step further to creating cheap, powerful, distributed solutions for sensing and processing.
