Integration of nanoscale memristor synapses in neuromorphic computing architectures
Significance of output:
This work demonstrates for the first time that the physical mechanisms causing the inherent unreliability of Resistive Random Access Memory can be advantageously employed to reliably mimic synaptic connections; the necessary components for establishing brain-inspired electronics. This work was funded by EU CHIST-ERA (EP/J00801X/1, €1.66M) and resulted in Prof Chua, inventor of memristors, spending three extended visits within Dr Prodromakis's group (Distinguished RAEng, Leverhulme and Marie Currie Fellowships). Other significances include further funding from EU-FP7 (RAMP €2.1M, ICT-2013-10: 612058) and EPSRC (EP/K017829/1, £1.4M), 9 invited talks (2012-2013), 1 Nature Materials Commentary and Dr Prodromakis's selection to chair CAS-FEST 2014.
