Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of analog circuits, and more specifically relates to an equation solver based on a memristor array and an operation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Linear equations and partial differential equations are the basic mathematical models of many practical problems. They are widely used in physics research, industrial production and other fields. However, the use of traditional computers to solve equations is faced with the problems of large circuit power consumption and low operation speed. There is an urgent need for a new type of equation solver to meet the above needs. The memristor array can be stored in the array by mapping the data to the conductance of the device, and by applying the voltage vector, relying on Kirchhoff's current law and Ohm's law to complete the vector matrix multiplication operation in one step, which has high energy / area efficiency and also has high Using memristor arrays to solve...
