Spatiotemporal Data Processing with Memristor Crossbar Array-Based Graph Reservoir.

Memristor-based physical reservoir computing is a robust framework for processing complex spatiotemporal data parallelly. However, conventional memristor-based reservoirs cannot capture the spatial relationship between the time-varying inputs due to the specific mapping scheme assigning one input signal to one memristor conductance. This study introduces a physical "graph reservoir" using a metal cell at the diagonal-crossbar array (mCBA) with dynamic self-rectifying memristors. Input and inverted input signals are applied to the word and bit lines of the mCBA, respectively, storing the correlation information between input signals in the memristors. In this way, the mCBA graph reservoirs can map the spatiotemporal correlation of the input data in a high-dimensional feature space. The high-dimensional mapping characteristics of the graph reservoir achieve notable results, including a normalized root-mean-square error of 0.09 in Mackey-Glass time series prediction, a 97.21% accuracy in MNIST recognition, and an 80.0% diagnostic accuracy in human connectome classification.
