Memristive Linear Algebra

The advent of memristive devices offers a promising avenue for efficient and scalable analog computing, particularly for linear algebra operations essential in various scientific and engineering applications. This paper investigates the potential of memristive crossbars in implementing matrix inversion algorithms. We explore both static and dynamic approaches, emphasizing the advantages of analog and in-memory computing for matrix operations beyond multiplication. Our results demonstrate that memristive arrays can significantly reduce computational complexity and power consumption compared to traditional digital methods for certain matrix tasks. Furthermore, we address the challenges of device variability, precision, and scalability, providing insights into the practical implementation of these algorithms.
