Abstract :
In this paper, we present a CMOS/memristor hybrid architecture for massively parallel logic computations in a CMOL-type memristive memory. The considered architecture enables bit-parallel stateful logic operations, which can be used to efficiently implement vector computations. As examples of computing schemes that benefit from the considered processing architecture, we consider the implementation of a content-addressable memory and binary cellular automata. We verify the correct operation of the considered processing architecture and algorithms using HSPICE simulations.
