Abstract
An apparatus and method provides the foundation for designing reconfigurable electronic computing systems. The invention relies on an ability to change the resistance state of a memristor device to achieve an optimal voltage at specific circuit nodes, whereby this dynamically and autonomously causes the circuit to reconfigure itself and produce a different output for the same input relative to the circuit's initial state. The circuit's state remains constant until the memristor's resistance is changed, at which point the circuit's function is 'reprogrammed'.
