Memristor
Recently, researchers developed a new memristor that could reduce AI energy use by over 70%.
- A memristor (“memory + resistor”) is an electronic device that stores data and processes it simultaneously.
- Unlike a normal resistor, it remembers its resistance even after power is removed.
- It combines memory and computation in a single component, unlike traditional computers.
- Works by changing resistance based on past electrical signals (history-dependent behaviour).
- Acts like an artificial synapse in neuromorphic (brain-inspired) computing systems.
- Helps overcome limits of the von Neumann architecture, where memory and processing are separate.
- Reduces energy use by minimising data transfer between memory ....
