Abstract

Crossbar arrays of resistive memories (RRAM) hold the promise of enabling In-Memory Computing (IMC), but essential challenges due to the impact of device imperfection and device endurance have yet to be overcome. In this work, we demonstrate experimentally an RRAM-based IMC logic concept with strong resilience to RRAM variability, even after one million endurance cycles. Our work relies on a generalization of the concept of in-memory Scouting Logic, and we demonstrate it experimentally with up to 16 parallel devices (operands), a new milestone for RRAM in-memory logic. Moreover, we combine IMC with Multi-Level-Cell programming and demonstrate experimentally, for the first time, an IMC RRAM-based MLC 2-bit adder.
