Abstract:

IEEE/ ACRC Workshop

on:

Memristors and Resistive Memory Devices and Applications in Computer Architecture and Brain-Inspired Systems

Wednesday, March 7, 2012

Technion, EE building, Auditorium 280 (2nd floor)

Goal: Novel devices, based on reversible changes in electrical resistance, are emerging as potential solutions to problems in digital electronica. These devices also hold promise as key elements in future brain-like hardware systems.The goal of this workshop is to introduce researchers and developers from diverse communities (physics, engineering, brain research, industry) to this new field.
