Research Bits: July 29


Sort-in-memory Researchers from Peking University and the Chinese Institute for Brain Research developed a sort-in-memory hardware system based on memristors that is tailored for complex, nonlinear sorting tasks. The comparator-free processing-in-memory architecture is built on a one-transistor–one-resistor (1T1R) memristor array, using a Digit Read mechanism that replaces traditional com... » read more
