Abstract

Memristive device or memristor is a promising emerging technology due to its good scalability, near-zero standby power consumption, high integration density, and CMOS fabrication compatibility. Several potential applications based on memristor technology have been proposed, such as non-volatile memories, neuromorphic systems, and resistive computing. However, research on resistive computing is still in its infancy phase. Therefore, it faces challenges with respect to the development of the device technology, logic design styles, computer architectures, compilers and applications.
This thesis focuses on the logic design (including primitive logic gates, interconnect, circuit,
and synthesis flow) and a novel non-Von Neumann architecture.
