Abstract:
A co-processor is configured for performing vector matrix multiplication (VMM) to solve computational problems such as partial differential equations (PDEs). An analog Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) can be implemented by invoking VMM of input signals with Fourier basis functions using analog crossbar arrays. Linear and non-linear PDEs can be solved by implementing spectral PDE solution methods as an alternative to massively discretized finite difference methods, while exploiting inherent parallelism realized through the crossbar arrays. A digital controller interfaces with the crossbar arrays to direct write and read operations to the crossbar arrays.

Claim (Index 6):
The circuit of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:\n a) identify a matrix to be stored into at least one memristor network; b) define mapping coefficients for the matrix based on 1) a high conductance state and a low conductance state of the at least one memristor network and 2) a highest value and a lowest value of the matrix; c) defining a map relating elements of the matrix to conductance values of the at least one memristor network based on the mapping coefficients; d) cause the VMM processor to store the matrix to the at least one memristor network as a function of the map; and e) convert result data from the at least one memristor network to numeric matrix values based on the map through an inverse mapping process.
