    Abstract

    Resistive random access memory (RRAM) is a non-volatile memory technology which allows to perform computations in both digital and analog circuits. Multiply-Accumulate (MAC) is an analog column-based operation enabled on RRAM crossbars providing high efficiency to perform complex matrix vector multiplications. In this paper, we show how a synthesis approach based on binary decision diagrams (BDD) can efficiently exploit efficient MAC computation enabled by RRAM. The proposed approach highly benefits from a symmetric structure of Boolean functions. Therefore a design methodology is presented which optimizes and approximates BDDs to maximize efficiency of synthesized logic circuits under negligible loss of accuracy.
