R&D: Nanyang Technological University and German Scientists Turn Memory Chips Into Processors to Speed Up Computing Tasks

This means data could now be processed in the same spot where it is stored, leading to much faster and thinner mobile devices and computers.

This new computing circuit was developed by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) in collaboration with Germany’s RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Juelich, one of the largest interdisciplinary research centres in Europe.

It is built using memory chips known as Redox-based resistive switching random access memory (ReRAM). Developed by chipmakers such as SanDisk (part of Western Digital Corporation
