Large‐Scale and Highly Reliable Hopfield Neural Networks Using Vertical NAND Flash Memory for the In‐Memory Associative Computing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Large‐scale Hopfield neural networks (HNNs) for associative computing are implemented using vertical NAND (VNAND) flash memory. The proposed VNAND HNN with the asynchronous update scenario achieve robust image restoration performance despite fabrication variations, while significantly reducing chip area (≈117× smaller than resistive random‐access ...

Review of Memristors for In‐Memory Computing and Spiking Neural Networks

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Memristors uniquely enable energy‐efficient, brain‐inspired computing by acting as both memory and synaptic elements. This review highlights their physical mechanisms, integration in crossbar arrays, and role in spiking neural networks. Key challenges, including variability, relaxation, and stochastic switching, are discussed, alongside emerging ...
