Memristive devices: Technology, design automation and computing frontiers

Abstract

The memristor is an emerging technology which is triggering intense interdisciplinary activity. It has the potential of providing many benefits, such as energy efficiency, density, reconfigurability, nonvolatile memory, novel computational structures and approaches, massive parallelism, etc. These characteristics may lead to deeply revise existing computing and storage paradigms. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of memristor technology and its potential to design a new computational paradigm.
