A method and apparatus for processing data. The data is sent to a processor unit comprising a group of neural cores, a group of digital processing cores, and a routing network connecting the group of digital processing cores. The data is processed in the processor unit to generate a result.

Mixed core processor unit

The present invention is directed generally to resistive random-access memory (RRAM or ReRAM) devices and systems, as well as methods of employing a thermal resistive model to understand and determine switching of such devices. In particular example, the method includes generating a power-resistance measurement for the memristor device and applying an isothermal model to the power-resistance measurement in order to determine one or more parameters of the device (e.g., filament state).

Methods for resistive switching of memristors

Photonic modulators and methods of modulating an input optical signal are provided. A photonic modulator includes at least one modulator section and differential drive circuitry. The at least one modulator section includes a P-type layer and an N-type layer forming a PN junction in the modulator section. The differential drive circuitry is electrically coupled to the P-type layer and the N-type layer of the at least one modulator section.

Low-voltage differentially-signaled modulators
