Exact Stochastic Computing Multiplication in Memristive Memory

Editor’s notes:
This article focuses on memristive nano-devices and their use for stochastic computing (SC). It demonstrates how to convert numbers between binary and stochastic domains and how to perform multiplications using inmemory computations by the memristive logic family “MAGIC.” In contrast to earlier works on memristive SC, the authors do not harness the intrinsic stochasticity of memristive devices but rather create deterministic SNs using well-defined operations.—
