Memristor Crossbar Based Fuzzy Membership Functions

Not to be confused with the other research into probabilistic computing, a new paper out on arxiv proposes an interesting method for implementing fuzzy membership functions via crossbar thresholding: This process can simply be implemented by the memristor crossbar-based circuit shown [.fig.] Memristance of the memristors at those crosspoints which are specified by black dots [...]

Scientific American on Flash Memory outlook

An great in-depth and comprehensive article from Scientific American today looks at the current and future forecasts of the memory field, across the following competing technologies: DRAM [Dynamic Random Access Memory] SRAM [Static Random Access Memory] RRAM [Resistive random access memory] PRAM [Phase change random access memory] MRAM [Magnetoresistive random access memory] NRAM [Nano random [...]

Pure Silicon Oxide ReRam Bit Cells takes on Titanium Performance?

The war of research continues its long slow climb to the future: researchers at Rice University who previously detailed their partnership with PrivaTran Inc. for fabrication of their silicon-based ReRam proof of concept memristors are putting the pressure on HP as different material studies begin to implement memristive behavior: “Our memristors are made out of [...]

Invisible Computers: CENSE, Big Data, Stan Williams, and Ubiquitous Computing

Big Data, Stan Williams CENSE (Central Nervous System for the Earth), Ubicomp, (Ubiquitous Computing), sensors and memristors get another NYT mention by John Markoff this week (titled Computers as Invisible as the Air). Especially pleased to see the mention of the Big Data problem, clearly and rigorously on the horizon. As more and more of [...]

Sensor Roundup: Cisco and 6lowPan, BSI cmos markets, MEMs growth

Sensors and actuators from CMOS to MEMS continue to get the industrial attention they deserve, as the week ends on a round of buyups, production rampups, and forecastups. Now they just need to work on the network bandwith problems… (maybe using some hints from Clifford Nass’s (Stanfords CHIMe Lab) awesome new book “The Man Who [...]
