Fast In-Memory Computation of Boolean Functions in Memristive Crossbar Array

摘要

Modern computing paradigms like in-memory computing have increasingly become popular among emerging non-volatile memories such as memristor. In this paper, a synthesis approach using the MAGIC design style has been proposed to map two-level Boolean functions in memristive crossbar array. The proposed synthesis approach exploits parallelism offered by the crossbar array to reduce latency. Our evaluation shows that though this approach consumes more area; however, the delay is reduced to a great extent. The method results in a design that is faster as compared to existing stateful logic designs as demonstrated for an N-bit adder. SPICE simulation has been performed to estimate delay and energy requirements. Results have been compared with some recent works on MCNC benchmark functions.
