Transistor-free compute in memory? Am I hopelessly behind the times in thinking that memory is, like, flip-flops in CMOS?
I get that memory could be anything which holds an encoded state, for instance magnetically. But how is the compute part of it achieved?
- HarHarVeryFunny 4y agoYeah, the linked article seems to be dumbed-down to the point of being information free. It does contain a link to this report which has a bit more information. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.nanolett.2c03169?cookieSet=1 https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.nanolett.2c03169?c... Still not totally clear, but my understanding is that they are using these Ferroelectic Diodes for both memory and "compute", and that this is a memristor-type device. The "compute" claim seems a bit exaggerated, but seems to be saying that given the response curve of the device it can effectively "multiply" by a pre-programmed weight value as part of memory recall. Maybe someone can confirm my take, or correct if wrong.
