A Memristor-Based Neuromorphic Computing Application, Adrian Rothenbuhler

Boise State University Theses and Dissertations

Artificial neural networks have recently received renewed interest because of the discovery of the memristor. The memristor is the fourth basic circuit element, hypothesized to exist by Leon Chua in 1971 and physically realized in 2008. The two-terminal device acts like a resistor with memory and is therefore of great interest for use as a synapse in hardware ANNs. Recent advances in memristor technology allowed these devices to migrate from the experimental stage to the application stage.

This Master's thesis presents the development of a threshold logic gate (TLG), which is a special case of an ANN, implemented with discrete …
