    Abstract: A double bias dot-product engine for vector processing is described. The dot product engine includes a crossbar array having N×M memory elements to store information corresponding to values contained in an N×M matrix, each memory element being a memristive storage device. First and second vector input registers including N voltage inputs, each voltage input corresponding to a value contained in a vector having N×1 values. The vector input registers are connected to the crossbar array to supply voltage inputs to each of N row electrodes at two locations along the electrode. A vector output register is also included to receive voltage outputs from each of M column electrodes.

    Abstract: A system for asymmetrically selecting a memory element is described. The system includes a number of memory cells in a crossbar array. Each memory cell includes a memory element to store information. The memory element is defined as an intersection between a column electrode and a row electrode of the crossbar array. Each memory cell also includes a selector to select a target memory element by relaying a first selecting voltage to a column electrode that corresponds to the target memory element and relaying a second selecting voltage to a row electrode that corresponds to the target memory element. The system also includes a controller to pass a first standing voltage to column electrodes of the crossbar array and to pass a second standing voltage to row electrodes of the crossbar array. The first standing voltage is different than the second standing voltage.

    Abstract: A memory controller includes a voltage control module that operates to isolate a target memristor of a memory crossbar array. The voltage control module applies a column voltage to a column line coupled to the target memristor, applies a first row voltage to all row lines not coupled to the target memristor and a second row voltage to a row line coupled to the target memristor, and senses a current through the target memristor to determine a state of the target memristor. The memory crossbar array includes a plurality of column lines, a plurality of row lines, a plurality of memristors, and a plurality of shorting switches. Each memristor is coupled between a unique combination of one column line and one row line. Each shorting switch has a high impedance resistor and a low impedance transistor, and each shorting switch is coupled to an end of a unique row line.

    Abstract: An example apparatus includes a crossbar array of signal lines and control lines. The example apparatus also includes an input controller in circuit with the control lines. The input control is to select one of the control lines. The example apparatus also includes first resistive elements connected between corresponding ones of the control lines and corresponding ones of the signal lines. The first resistive elements have first conductances set to operate as a matrix of probabilities that define a fixed transition kernel of a Markov Chain. The example apparatus also includes second resistive elements in circuit with the signal lines. The second resistive elements have second conductances set to select one of the signal lines exclusive of others of the signal lines based on a subset of the probabilities in the matrix of the probabilities.
