DOI

This is a fast generative model for stochastic memory cells. It helps determine how real-world devices would perform in large-scale circuits, for example when used as resistive weights in a neuromorphic system.

The model is trained on measurement data and closely replicates

  • cross-correlations and history dependence of switching parameters
  • cycle-to-cycle and device-to-device distributions
  • multi-level resistance states
  • resistance non-linearity

It is currently implemented in
