Memristive analog arithmetic within cellular arrays

This paper describes how memristors, together with CMOS transistors (CMOS-memristor hybrids), could be used for analog arithmetic within cellular (locally connected, regular) computing arrays, i.e., cellular nanoscale networks (CNN). Elementary analog programming of memristors and copying memristance values are described. Also, we show how memristors could be used for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Furthermore, we demonstrate how a local memristive computing unit could be mapped into a CNN cell. Relevant memristor models are shown and key simulations are presented.
