    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) to apply a modification function to a digital input signal to generate a modified digital input signal, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to convert the modified digital input signal to an analog input signal, a crossbar array to apply an operation on the analog input signal to generate an analog output signal, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC may modify the analog output signal to compensate for application of the modification function to the digital input signal, may convert the modified analog output signal to a digital output signal, and may output the digital output signal.

    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a control circuit is described. The control circuit includes a source following component to receive an input voltage and output a switching voltage. The circuit also includes an input leg of a current mirror coupled to the source following component. The input leg of the current mirror replicates the switching voltage to an output leg of the current mirror of a memristive bit cell. The circuit also includes a number of current control components. At least one of the current control components enforces a constant current through the source following component and other current control components maintain the input leg of the current mirror and the output leg of the current mirror at the same current.

    Abstract: Examples herein relate to convolution accelerators. An example convolution accelerator may include a transformation crossbar array programmed to calculate a Fourier Transformation of a first vector with a transformation matrix and a Fourier Transformation of a second vector with the transformation matrix. A circuit of the example convolution accelerator may multiply the Fourier Transformation of the first vector with the Fourier Transformation of the second vector to calculate a product vector. The example convolution accelerator may have an inverse transformation crossbar array programmed to calculate an Inverse Fourier Transformation of the product vector according to an inverse transformation matrix.

    Abstract: An example electronic device includes a crossbar array, row driver circuitry, and column output circuits for each of the column lines of the crossbar array. The crossbar array may include row lines, column lines, and memristors that each are connected between one of the row lines and one of the column lines. The row driver circuitry may be to apply a plurality of analog voltages to a first node during a plurality of time periods, respectively, and, for each of the row lines, selectively connect the row line to the first node during one of the plurality of time periods based on a digital input vector. The column output circuits may each include: an integration capacitor, a switch that is controlled by an integration control signal, and current mirroring circuitry. The current mirroring circuitry may be to, when the switch is closed, flow an integration current to or from an electrode of the integration capacitor whose magnitude mirrors a current flowing on the corresponding column line. The integration control signal may be to close the switch for a specified amount of time during each of the plurality of time periods.

    Abstract: Comparators may be associated with dictionary entries. In one aspect, a dictionary entry may store a dictionary word. A register may store an input word. A comparator associated with the dictionary entry may compare the dictionary word and the input word. The comparison may be a bit by bit comparison. The comparator may output a signal indicating if the dictionary word is less than the input word, equal to the input word, or greater than the input word. The output may indicate indeterminate when the comparison is not yet complete.
