Abstract
The spread of algorithms that process ever larger data sets is leading to a redefinition of the hardware used for computing. In particular, the implementation of these algorithms on conventional machines based on the von-Neumann architecture is inefficient due to the high costs in terms of time and energy consumed, caused by the continuous communication between the CPU and the main memory. One of the hardware innovations that is particularly promising to overcome these limitations is in-memory computing (IMC). The basic idea of IMC is to minimize the communication between the CPU and the memory to save time and energy. In order to do that, IMC involves the use of computational memories where data storage and processing happens in the same place.
Since IMC is based on computational memories, emerging technologies such as resistance-based memory devices are attractive in this context thanks to their physical properties that allow to store and compute simultaneously
