Analysis of Dynamic Linear and Non-linear Memristor Device Models for Emerging Neuromorphic Computing Hardware Design

Abstract

The value memristor devices offer to the neuromorphic computing hardware design community rests on the ability to provide effective device models that can enable large scale integrated computing architecture application simulations. Therefore, it is imperative to develop practical, functional device models of minimum mathematical complexity for fast, reliable, and accurate computing architecture technology design and simulation. To this end, various device models have been proposed in the literature seeking to characterize the physical electronic and time domain behavioral properties of memristor devices. In this work, we analyze some promising and practical non-quasi-static linear and non-linear memristor device models for neuromorphic circuit design and computing architecture simulation.
