Memcomputing with membrane memcapacitive systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show theoretically that networks of membrane memcapacitive systems-capacitors with memory made out of membrane materials-can be used to perform a complete set of logic gates in a massively parallel way by simply changing the external input amplitudes, but not the topology of the network. This polymorphism is an important characteristic of memcomputing (computing with memories) that closely reproduces one of the main features of the brain. A practical realization of these membrane memcapacitive systems, using, e.g., graphene or other 2D materials, would be a step forward towards a solid-state realization of memcomputing with passive devices.

Dynamic Computing Random Access Memory
The present von Neumann computing paradigm involves a significant amount of information transfer between a central processing unit and memory, with concomitant limitations in the actual execution speed. However, it has been recently argued that a different form of computation, dubbed memcomputing (Di Ventra and Pershin 2013 Nat. Phys. 9 200-2) and inspired by the operation of our brain, can res...
متن کاملA Survey and Discussion of Memcomputing Machines
This paper serves as a review and discussion of the recent works on memcomputing. In particular, the universal memcomputing machine (UMM) and the digital memcomputing machine (DMM) are discussed. We review the memcomputing concept in the dynamical systems framework and assess the algorithms offered for computing NP problems in the UMM and DMM paradigms. We argue that the UMM is a physically imp...
متن کاملMemcapacitive neural networks
We show that memcapacitive (memory capacitive) systems can be used as synapses in artificial neural networks. As an example of our approach, we discuss the architecture of an integrate-and-fire neural network based on memcapacitive synapses. Moreover, we demonstrate that the spike-timing-dependent plasticity can be simply realized with some of these devices. Memcapacitive synapses are a low-ene...
متن کاملMemcapacitive Devices in Logic and Crossbar Applications
Over the last decade, memristive devices have been widely adopted in computing for various conventional and unconventional applications. While the integration density, memory property, and nonlinear characteristics have many benefits, reducing the energy consumption is limited by the resistive nature of the devices. Memcapacitors would address that limitation while still having all the benefits...
متن کاملMemcomputing NP-complete problems in polynomial time using polynomial resources and collective states
Memcomputing is a novel non-Turing paradigm of computation that uses interacting memory cells (memprocessors for short) to store and process information on the same physical platform. It was recently proven mathematically that memcomputing machines have the same computational power of nondeterministic Turing machines. Therefore, they can solve NP-complete problems in polynomial time and, using ...
