Morphic atomic switch networks for beyond-Moore computing architectures

Abstract

We discuss the utility of ASNs as a uniquely scalable physical platform capable of hybrid-CMOS architectures and novel computation. Through a combination of controlled design with spontaneous self-organization, an atomic switch network (ASN) has been produce as a purpose-built complex system. A highly interconnected system of Ag2S resistive switches, the ASN has been shown to produce fault-tolerant switching and a set of complex dynamics similar to biological neural networks.
