Abstract

The traditional Von-Neumann architecture is reaching its limits and finding it difficult to cope up with the ever-increasing demands of modern workloads like artificial intelligence. This demand has fueled the search of technologies that can mimic human brain to efficiently combine both memory and computation within a single device. In this work, we present the state-of-the-art research in the domain of computation-in-memory. In particular, we take a look at memristors and its widespread application in neuromorphic computation. We introduce ReRAMs in terms of their novel computing paradigms and present ReRAM-specific design flows. We address the various circuit opportunities and challenges related to reliability and fault tolerance associated with them. Another high-potential candidate to leverage memory and computation from a single device is Ferroelectric Field-effect Transistor (FeFET). Here we present a co-integration of such FeFETs with another emerging nanotechnology concept, called Reconfigurable Field Effect Transistor (RFET) and discuss the impact of the higher amount of states provided by this combination.
