ABSTRACT Memristor-based platforms could be used to create compact and energy-efficient artificial intelligence (AI) edge-computing systems due to their parallel computation ability in the
analogue domain. However, systems based on memristor arrays face challenges implementing real-time AI algorithms with fully on-device learning due to reliability issues, such as low yield,
poor uniformity and endurance problems. Here we report an analogue computing platform based on a selector-less analogue memristor array. We use interfacial-type titanium oxide memristors
with a gradual oxygen distribution that exhibit high reliability, high linearity, forming-free attribute and self-rectification. Our platform—which consists of a selector-less
(one-memristor) 1 K (32 × 32) crossbar array, peripheral circuitry and digital controller—can run AI algorithms in the analogue domain by self-calibration without compensation operations or
pretraining. We illustrate the capabilities of the system with real-time video foreground and background separation, achieving an average peak signal-to-noise ratio of 30.49 dB and a
structural similarity index measure of 0.81; these values are similar to those of simulations for the ideal case. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of
