Memory-centric computing has emerged as a promising paradigm by enabling computations to be performed directly within memory, thereby reducing the latency and energy overhead associated with data movement. Approximate computing (AxC) offers another complementary approach, improving performance metrics such as speed at the cost of reduced accuracy. In this work, the stateful Memristor Aided loGIC (MAGIC) is employed to integrate these paradigms for the design of exact and approximate full adders, forming the basis for modern computing tasks. The proposed exact MAGIC-based Full Adder (MFA), implemented on a parallel architecture, achieves a 27.7% to 65.7% reduction in latency compared to State-of-the-Art (SoA) exact MAGIC adder, with a minimal <inline-formula> <tex-math>$mathbf {4 times 5}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> crossbar footprint. Additionally, a novel approximation methodology is proposed, yielding three MAGIC-based Approximate Full Adder (MAFA) designs, which are integrated with the MFA to construct Ripple Carry Adders (RCAs) with varying degrees of approximation. Compared to the best existing exact MAGIC adder the MAFA designs improve latency by 37.3% to 68.6%, require 19.6% to 49.6% less area, and reduce the energy consumption by 20% to 54.4%. We evaluated the proposed MAFA designs across four image-processing applications.

However, existing SDK variants (e.g., VWC-SDK) merely optimize mapping for a single CIM macro, leaving inter-macro parallelism unexplored. Moreover, their mapping methodologies are still suboptimal. To address these limitations, we present TetrisG-SDK, a novel framework that employs adaptive windows to boost mapping performance. The proposed windows accommodate more input channels, increase array utilization at marginal space, and adapt to different channel depths. More importantly, TetrisG-SDK reduces compute latency by searching for optimal window configurations across multiple CIM macros with a fixed hardware budget.

The unit cell comprises a photodiode in series with a resistive random-access memory (RRAM) device, enabling computation at the point of capture. Organized into complementary crossbar arrays and driven by programmable peripheral units, this architecture supports image acquisition, temporal-difference motion extraction, spatial filtering, box blur filtering, and morphological dilation directly within the sensor plane. System-level transient simulations using validated device models demonstrate the system’s robustness against non-idealities and its capability for dynamic exposure control via multi-state programming. Large-scale performance analyses validate the architecture’s efficiency, confirming that processing latency scales linearly with image height, independent of the width, across all operating modes. This capability yields processing speeds of approximately 336 frames per second for motion extraction and box-blur filtering. Furthermore, the system demonstrates energy consumption as low as 1.89 nJ per pixel for temporal differencing and 2.43 nJ per pixel for image capture. In-memory spatial filtering (box-blur) is achieved with high structural fidelity (SSIM >0.97) at 3.13 nJ per pixel, while higher-level morphological dilation is executed at 3.22 nJ per pixel.
