abstract = {With the arrival of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the
challenges arising from Big Data, neuromorphic chip concepts
are seen as key solutions for coping with the massive amount
of unstructured data streams by moving the computation
closer to the sensors, the so-called “edge computing.”
Augmenting these chips with emerging memory technologies
enables these edge devices with non-volatile and adaptive
properties which are desirable for low power and online
learning operations. However, an energy- and area-efficient
realization of these systems requires disruptive hardware
changes. Memristor-based solutions for these concepts are in
the focus of research and industry due to their low-power
and high-density online learning potential. Specifically,
the filamentary-type valence change mechanism (VCM memories)
have shown to be a promising candidate In consequence,
physical models capturing a broad spectrum of experimentally
observed features such as the pronounced cycle-to-cycle
(c2c) and device-to-device (d2d) variability are required
for accurate evaluation of the proposed concepts. In this
study, we present an in-depth experimental analysis of d2d
and c2c variability of filamentary-type bipolar switching
HfO2/TiOx nano-sized crossbar devices and match the
experimentally observed variabilities to our physically
motivated JART VCM compact model. Based on this approach, we
evaluate the concept of parallel operation of devices as a
synapse both experimentally and theoretically. These
parallel synapses form a synaptic array which is at the core
of neuromorphic chips. We exploit the c2c variability of
these devices for stochastic online learning which has shown
to increase the effective bit precision of the devices.
Finally, we demonstrate that stochastic switching features
for a pattern classification task that can be employed in an
online learning neural network.},
