ECE Seminar - Neuromorphic computing with memristors
9:30am - 10:30am
https://hkust.zoom.us/j/95423258052 Meeting ID: 954 2325 8052

The rise of memristors as artificial synapses and neurons provides a new approach in developing a neuromorphic hardware. A memristor-based neuromorphic processor would “compute by physics” which uses intrinsic device properties as computing principles and implements circuits and architectures based on biological inspirations. In this talk, I will first introduce the promises and challenges of memristors for neuromorphic computing. I will then discuss our efforts in addressing some fundamental device challenges of memristors and present our new concept in designing memristor computing arrays. Finally, I will conclude my talk with some brief discussions into future research directions.
