Neuro-memristive Circuits for Edge Computing: A review
The volume, veracity, variability, and velocity of data produced from the
ever-increasing network of sensors connected to Internet pose challenges for
power management, scalability, and sustainability of cloud computing
infrastructure. Increasing the data processing capability of edge computing
devices at lower power requirements can reduce several overheads for cloud
computing solutions. This paper provides the review of neuromorphic
CMOS-memristive architectures that can be integrated into edge computing
devices. We discuss why the neuromorphic architectures are useful for edge
devices and show the advantages, drawbacks and open problems in the field of
neuro-memristive circuits for edge computing
Real-time Analog Pixel-to-pixel Dynamic Frame Differencing with Memristive Sensing Circuits
In this paper, we propose an analog pixel differencing circuit for
differentiating pixels between frames directly from CMOS pixels. The analog
information processing at sensor is a topic of growing appeal to develop edge
AI devices. The proposed circuit is integrated into a pixel-parallel and
pixel-column architectures. The proposed system is design using TSMC
CMOS technology. The power dissipation of the proposed circuit is ,
and on-chip ares is . The architectures are tested for moving
object detection application.Comment: IEEE SENSORS 201
Memristor MOS Content Addressable Memory (MCAM): Hybrid Architecture for Future High Performance Search Engines
Large-capacity Content Addressable Memory (CAM) is a key element in a wide
variety of applications. The inevitable complexities of scaling MOS transistors
introduce a major challenge in the realization of such systems. Convergence of
disparate technologies, which are compatible with CMOS processing, may allow
extension of Moore's Law for a few more years. This paper provides a new
approach towards the design and modeling of Memristor (Memory resistor) based
Content Addressable Memory (MCAM) using a combination of memristor MOS devices
to form the core of a memory/compare logic cell that forms the building block
of the CAM architecture. The non-volatile characteristic and the nanoscale
geometry together with compatibility of the memristor with CMOS processing
technology increases the packing density, provides for new approaches towards
power management through disabling CAM blocks without loss of stored data,
reduces power dissipation, and has scope for speed improvement as the
technology matures.Comment: 10 pages, 11 figure
