sc_neurocore.memristor.memristor_mapper
¶
Variability-aware memristor crossbar mapper for stochastic computing.
Takes SC bitstreams + per-device conductance variability models (from real fab data distributions) and emits optimised crossbar-aware SystemVerilog with compensation LUTs or stochastic encoding that absorbs read/write noise at design time.
Supports Monte Carlo variability injection for co-simulation, enabling fab-ready crossbar SC deployment on emerging memristor arrays (Mythic, Weebit, 2D-material ReRAM, phase-change, etc.).
