For the memristors/neuromorphic computing aficionados, a new article featured on the cover page of the February edition of IEEE Computer describing the joint work done by Hewlett-Packard and the Neuromorphics Lab at Boston University summarizing the challenges and the accomplishments of the past year. And what a year! The abstract says it all: "In a synchronous digital platform for building large cognitive models, memristive nanodevices form dense, resistive memories that can be placed close to conventional processing circuitry. Through adaptive transformations, the devices can interact with the world in real time." Read the rest of this entry »

Greg Snider talk on memristors
| December 26, 2009I came across a series of videos on Youtube of the 2008 UC Berkeley Synposium on memristors. As many of you know by now, Leon Chua published a seminal paper in 1971 on the missing basic circuit element, and in 1976, along with Sung-Mo Kang, he published another paper describing a large class of devices and systems they called memristive devices.

“Hello World” on Memristive Nanodevices
| February 3, 2009SyNAPSE is not a project DARPA undertook lightly. Many attempts at large-scale neuromorphic engineering have been made in the past. None met their goals. As such, SyNAPSE owes its existence to a number of recent game-changing developments. From HP Labs, the discovery of the memristor was one such keystone innovation. It took Greg Snider's 2007 work in Nanotechnology, however, to establish memristors as a viable platform for the implementation of self-organizing recurrent neural networks.
