Method and apparatus for performing close-loop programming of resistive memory devices in crossbar array based hardware circuits and systems

摘要

Method and apparatus for performing close-loop programming of resistive memory devices in crossbar array based hardware circuits and systems. Invention provides iterative training of memristor crossbar arrays for neural networks by applying voltages corresponding to selected training patterns. Error is detected and measured as a function of the actual response to the training patterns versus the expected response to the training pattern.
