Theory and experimental verification of configurable computing with stochastic memristors.

ABSTRACT: The inevitable variability within electronic devices causes strict constraints on operation, reliability and scalability of the circuit design. However, when a compromise arises among the different performance metrics, area, time and energy, variability then loosens the tight requirements and allows for further savings in an alternative design scope. To that end, unconventional computing approaches are revived in the form of approximate computing, particularly tuned for resource-constrained mobile computing. In this paper, a proof-of-concept of the approximate computing paradigm using memristors is demonstrated. Stochastic memristors are used as the main building block of probabilistic logic gates. As will be shown in this paper, the stochasticity of memristors' switching characteristics i
