Bio-Inspired Stochastic Computing Using Binary CBRAM Synapses
Open accessAbstract
In this paper, we present an alternative approach to neuromorphic systems based on multilevel resistive memory synapses and deterministic learning rules. We demonstrate an original methodology to use conductive-bridge RAM (CBRAM) devices as, easy to program and low-power, binary synapses with stochastic learning rules. New circuit architecture, programming strategy, and probabilistic spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) learning rule for two different CBRAM configurations with-selector (1T-1R) and without-selector (1R) are proposed. We show two methods (intrinsic and extrinsic) for implementing probabilistic STDP rules. Fully unsupervised learning with binary synapses is illustrated through two example applications: 1) real-time auditory pattern extraction (inspired from a 64-channel silicon cochlea emulator); and 2) visual pattern extraction (inspired from the processing inside visual cortex). High accuracy (audio pattern sensitivity > 2, video detection rate > 95%) and low synaptic-power dissipation (audio 0.55 μW, video 74.2 μW) are shown. The robustness and impact of synaptic parameter variability on system performance are also analyzed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
