Abstract

The invention is notably directed to a device for performing a matrix-vector multiplication of a matrix with a vector. The device comprises a memory crossbar array comprising a plurality of row lines, a plurality of column lines and a plurality of junctions arranged between the plurality of row lines and the plurality of column lines. Each junction comprises a programmable resistive element and an access element for accessing the programmable resistive element. The device further comprises a readout circuit configured to perform read operations by applying positive read voltages of one or more first amplitudes and negative read voltages of one or more second amplitudes corresponding to the one or more first amplitudes. The one or more first amplitudes and the corresponding one or more second amplitudes are different from each other, thereby correcting polarity dependent current asymmetricities.
