Memristive Devices for Brain-Inspired Computing: From Materials, Devices, and Circuits to Applications-Computational Memory, Deep Learning, and Spiking Neural Networks reviews the latest in material and devices engineering for optimizing memristive devices beyond storage applications and toward brain-inspired computing. The book provides readers with an understanding of four key concepts, including materials and device aspects with a view of current materials systems and their remaining barriers, algorithmic aspects comprising basic concepts of neuroscience as well as various computing concepts, the circuits and architectures implementing those algorithms based on memristive technologies, and target applications, including brain-inspired computing, computational memory, and deep learning.This comprehensive book is suitable for an interdisciplinary audience, including materials scientists, physicists, electrical engineers, and computer scientists. Review Provides the fundamental principles of emerging interdisciplinary research on material and device engineering for optimizing resistive memory devices About the Author Sabina Spiga received the Degree in Physics from the Università di Bologna in 1995 and the PhD in Material Science in 2002 from Università di Milano. She is staff researcher at CNR-IMM–Unit of Agrate Brianza (Italy) since 2004, and she is currently leading a research team developing oxide-based resistive switching non-volatile memories and memristive devices for neuromorphic systems. She is currently principal Investigator for CNR of the project European project-Horizo2020 NeuRAM3-NEUral computing aRchitectures in Advanced Monolithic 3D-VLSI nano-technologies; and since 2014 she is also member of the Management Committee for Italy of the COST Action ICT 1401-“Memristors-Devices, Models, Circuits, Systems and Applications. S. Spiga is co-author of more than 100 publications on peer reviewed journals and proceedings. She co-organized several symposia and workshops and national and international level, and in 2013/2014 she participated to the IEDM Memory Technology subcommittee.IBM Research – Zurich, SwitzerlandAbu Sebastian received a B. E. (Hons.) degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from BITS Pilani, India, in 1998 and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering (minor in Mathematics) from Iowa State University in 1999 and 2004, respectively. Since 2006, he is a Research Staff Member at IBM Research - Zurich in Rüschlikon, Switzerland.He was a contributor to several key projects in the space of storage and memory technologies such as probe-based data storage, phase-change memory and carbon-based memory. Most recently, he is actively researching the area of non-von Neumann computing with the intent of connecting the technological elements with applications such as cognitive computing. He has published over 140 articles in journals and conference proceedings. He also holds over 30 granted patents. He is a co-recipient of the 2009 IEEE Control Systems Technology Award. In 2015 he was awarded the European Research Council (ERC) consolidator grant and in 2016 he was named an IBM Master Inventor.He served on the editorial board of the journal, Mechatronics from 2008 till 2015. He also served on the memory technologies committee of the IEDM from 2015-2016.Damien Querlioz is a CNRS researcher at the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology of Université Paris-Sud, Orsay. He received his predoctoral education at Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, his PhD at Université Paris-Sud in 2008, and was a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University and CEA. He focuses on novel usages of emerging non-volatile memory, in particular relying on inspirations from biology and machine learning. He coordinates the INTEGNANO interdisciplinary research group. In 2016, he was the recipient of an ERC Starting Grant to develop the concept of natively intelligent memory.Bipin Rajendra
