Abstract
The endurance, retention and system-level performance of memristors for memory and computation has been often misrepresented in articles that lack statistics and use non-standardized characterization and simulation protocols. Here we discuss the origin of these issues, their negative effect in the nascent memristor industry, and potential ways to mitigate them.
