Abstract
Smart computing has demonstrated huge potential for various application sectors such as personalized healthcare and smart robotics. Smart computing aims bringing computing close to the source where the data is generated or stored. Memristor-based Computation-In-Memory (CIM) has the potential to realize such smart computing for data and computation intensive applications. This paper presents an overview and design present of CIM, covering from the architecture and circuit level down to the device level. On the circuit and device level, accelerators for machine learning will be presented and discussed, focusing on variability and reliability effects. We will discuss these aspects for Redox-based Resistive Random Access Memories (ReRAM) based on the Valence Change Mechanism (VCM) by employing the compact model JART VCM v1b.
