A Fast Method for Steady-State Memristor Crossbar Array Circuit Simulation
IEEE International Conference on Integrated Circuits, Technologies and Applications (ICTA)
Abstract
In this work we propose an effective preconditioning technique to accelerate the steady-state simulation of large-scale memristor crossbar arrays (MCAs). We exploit the structural regularity of MCAs to develop a specially-crafted preconditioner that can be efficiently evaluated utilizing tensor products and block matrix inversion. Numerical experiments demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed technique compared to mainstream preconditioners.
