| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we conducted research on neuromorphic hardware that drastically improves the performance of deep learning, and in particular, we focused on improving the reliability of neural networks using memristors. Manufacturing technology of the memristors is immature and have issues with reliability. Therefore, we worked on developing the fault-tolerant techniques for the memoristar-based neural network. In particular, we have developed an error correction function that adds redundant cells for checksums in the column and row directions. As a result of numerical calculation using the Hopfield network, it was confirmed that the identification rate was improved by 25.81% compared to no measures and 5.25% compared to the existing method.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
フォンノイマンボトルネックによるノイマン型計算基盤の性能向上の限界、ムーアの法則 の破綻が近づき、ヒトの脳を模した脳型コンピュータ(Neuromorphic Computer)はこれまでの計算の質を革新する最重要技術の1つとして期待を集めている。しかし、構成素子であるメムデバイスの製造不安定に起因する信頼性課題により大規模化、すなわち量、に重大な課題を抱えており、ノイマン型計算規模を超える目処は立っていない。本研究は、脳型コンピュータの高集積化に不可欠な高信頼化設計の技術基盤を形成するものであり、今後の脳型コンピュータの高集積化に向けた基礎技術となりうる。
