Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
To address the “memory wall” bottleneck of conventional von Neumann architectures, this study proposes a memristor-based in-memory computing CPU architecture. Based on non-volatile memristors, logic gates of NOT, AND, NAND, OR, NOR and arithmetic units are realized. Furthermore, with two key innovations of memristors replacing traditional D flip-flops and a CMOS-memristor hybrid address decoder, the memristor-based CPU supports targeted data operations and result storage at arbitrary addresses. The novel memristor-based CPU verifies an 87.7% reduction in average system power consumption over the conventional CMOS design, providing a feasible engineering solution for next-generation low-power in-memory computing applications.
