Abstract

Simulation is expected to become an indispensable educational and research tool for memristive circuits and architectures. To this end, this paper presents a novel, self-contained, platform-independent, GUI-based design and simulation tool for standard/alternative memristive crossbar architectures, targeting memory and/or logic applications. It permits the exploration of the crossbar-based memristive circuit design-space and allows for logic-in-memory computations.
