MEMRISTOR
[attachment=27736]
What is it?
Theory of Memristor came in 1971 but its uses starts in 2008.
MEMRISTOR is also known as Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM).
The world’s smallest memristive switch.
Its size is about 50 x 50 nanometers.
Information storage device.
A concentration of memory resistors.
What Sets Memristor Apart
By changing the speed and strength of the current, it is possible to change the behavior of the device.
A fast and hard current causes it to act as a digital device.
A soft and slow current causes it to act as an analog device.
Benefits of Memristor
Provides greater resiliency and reliability when power is interrupted in data centers.
Combines the jobs of working memory and hard drives into one tiny device.
Faster and less expensive than MRAM.
Future Technical Significance
One day have a computer that processes information in the same way as the human brain.
Gaining control over the device could lead to computers that actually learn.
