Resistive-RAM-Based In-Memory Computing for Neural Network: A Review

Processing-in-memory (PIM) is a promising architecture to design various types of neural network accelerators as it ensures the efficiency of computation together with Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM). ReRAM has now become a promising solution to enhance computing efficiency due to its crossbar structure. In this paper, a ReRAM-based PIM neural network accelerator is addressed, and different kinds of methods and designs of various schemes are discussed. Various models and architectures implemented for a neural network accelerator are determined for research trends. Further, the limitations or challenges of ReRAM in a neural network are also addressed in this review.
