Monolithic three-dimensional integration of memory and logic circuits could dramatically improve performance and energy efficiency of computing systems. Some conventional and emerging memories are suitable for vertical integration, including highly scalable metal-oxide resistive switching devices (memristors), yet integration of logic circuits proves to be much more challenging. Here we demonstrate memory and logic functionality in a monolithic three-dimensional circuit by adapting recently proposed memristor-based stateful material implication logic. Though such logic has been already implemented with a variety of memory devices, prohibitively large device variability in the most prospective memristor-based circuits has limited experimental demonstrations to simple gates and just a few cycles of operations. By developing a low-temperature, low-variability fabrication process, and modifying the original circuit to increase its robustness to device imperfections, we experimentally show, for the first time, reliable multi-cycle multi-gate material implication logic operation within a three-dimensional stack of monolithically integrated memristors. The direct data manipulation in three dimensions enables extremely compact and high-throughput logic-in-memory computing and, remarkably, presents a viable solution for the Feynman grand challenge of implementing an 8-bit adder at the nanoscale.

Implication logic gates that are based on volatile memristors are demonstrated experimentally with the use of relay-based volatile memristor emulators of an original design. The fabricated logic circuit involves two volatile memristors and it is capa
ble of performing four fundamental logic functions (two types of material implication and the negations thereof). Moreover, current-voltage characteristics of individual emulators are recorded and self-sustained oscillations in a resistor-volatile memristor circuit are found. The developed emulator offers a great potential for memristive circuit experiments because of its simplicity, similarity of response with volatile memristors, and low cost. Our findings, which are based on emulators, can easily be reproduced with physical volatile memristors and, thus, open up possibilities for emerging in-memory computing architectures.
Digital memcomputing machines (DMMs) are a class of computational machines designed to solve combinatorial optimization problems. A practical realization of DMMs can be accomplished via electrical circuits of highly non-linear, point-dissipative dyna
mical systems engineered so that periodic orbits and chaos can be avoided. A given logic problem is first mapped into this type of dynamical system whose point attractors represent the solutions of the original problem. A DMM then finds the solution via a succession of elementary instantons whose role is to eliminate solitonic configurations of logical inconsistency (logical defects) from the circuit. By employing a supersymmetric theory of dynamics, a DMM can be described by a cohomological field theory that allows for computation of certain topological matrix elements on instantons that have the mathematical meaning of intersection numbers on instantons. We discuss the dynamical meaning of these matrix elements, and argue that the number of elementary instantons needed to reach the solution cannot exceed the number of state variables of DMMs, which in turn can only grow at most polynomially with the size of the problem. These results shed further light on the relation between logic, dynamics and topology in digital memcomputing.
The recent demonstration of current-driven magnetic domain wall logic [Z. Luo et al., Nature 579:214] was based on a three-input logic gate that was identified as a reconfigurable NAND/NOR function. We reinterpret this logic gate as a minority gate w
ithin the context of threshold logic, enabling a domain wall threshold logic paradigm in which the device count can be reduced by 80%. Furthermore, by extending the logic gate to more than three inputs of non-equal weight, an 87% reduction in device count can be achieved.
The recently proposed probabilistic spin logic presents promising solutions to novel computing applications. Multiple cases of implementations, including invertible logic gate, have been studied numerically by simulations. Here we report an experimen
tal demonstration of a magnetic tunnel junction-based hardware implementation of probabilistic spin logic.
Modern integrated circuits are essentially two-dimensional (2D). Partial three-dimensional (3D) integration and 3D-transistor-level integrated circuits have long been anticipated as routes to improve the performance, cost and size of electronic compu
ting systems. Even as electronics approach fundamental limits however, stubborn challenges in 3D circuits, and innovations in planar technology have delayed the dimensional transition. Optical computing offers potential for new computing approaches, substantially greater performance and would complement technologies in optical interconnects and data storage. Nevertheless, despite some progress, few proposed optical transistors possess essential features required for integration into real computing systems. Here we demonstrate a logic gate based on universal features of nonlinear wave propagation: spatiotemporal instability and collapse. It meets the scaling criteria and enables a 3D, reconfigurable, globally-hyperconnected architecture that may achieve an exponential speed up over conventional platforms. It provides an attractive building block for future optical computers, where its universality should facilitate flexible implementations.
