Abstract

This work presents the simulation results of a novel recurrent, memristive neuromorphic architecture, the MN and explores its computational capabilities in the performance of a temporal pattern recognition task by considering the principles of the reservoir computing approach. A simple methodology based on the definitions of ordered and chaotic dynamical systems was used to determine the separation and fading memory properties of the architecture. The results show the potential use of this architecture as a reservoir for the on-line processing of time-varying inputs.
