Job description:
In this project memory centric paradigms based on emerging memristive technologies will be explored. The main focus would be micro architecture level design by abstracting device and circuit level designs of CIM primitives and their nonidealities (variations and failures) to the microarchitecture level and perform analysis on memory centric applications (such as hyper dimensional computing, deep learning, scientific computation, etc). Also various reliability improvement approaches at circuit, architecture and application levels will be explored and quantified with the CIM analysis framework. 

Required background:
micro architecture design, logic synthesis, cycle accurate micro architectural simulators.
