Claim 0:
1. A method of executing a dot-product operation with an analog neuromorphic system that implements a plurality of resistive memories, comprising:
applying an input voltage to an analog neuromorphic circuit, wherein the input voltage represents a non-binary value that is incorporated into a dot-product operation;
providing a resistance value to each corresponding input voltage from a corresponding resistive memory included in a plurality of resistive memories;
generating an output voltage signal from applying the input voltage that represents a corresponding non-binary value to the corresponding resistance value to execute the dot-product operation, wherein the output voltage signal is a binary value;
determining whether a conductance value associated with the corresponding resistive memory is within a conductance value threshold; and
adjusting the conductance value of the resistive memory to be within the conductance value threshold when the conductance value associated with the corresponding resistive memory deviates beyond the conductance value threshold.
