Integration of Emerging Memory and Neuromorphic Architecture Chips

Dear Colleagues,

With the explosive growth of data in the era of artificial intelligence and cloud computing, traditional storage and computing architectures are increasingly strained in terms of efficiency, scalability, and energy consumption. In response to these challenges, emerging storage technologies—such as non-volatile memory, in-memory computing, and neuromorphic computing—are garnering significant attention due to their potential to revolutionize data processing paradigms. Notably, the convergence of storage and computing, known as “computing-in-memory”, has become a promising approach to overcome the limitations of the von Neumann bottleneck and to enable high-speed, energy-efficient data processing.

This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to share the latest advances and insights in novel storage technologies and their applications in computing–storage integration. By bringing together innovative works on materials, architectures, systems, and applications, we seek to promote cross-disciplinary collaboration and stimulate progress in this rapidly evolving field.

We welcome original research articles and comprehensive reviews on topics including, but not limited to, the following:

• New non-volatile memory materials and device technologies;
• Architectures and systems for in-memory and in-storage computing;
• Storage-class memory applications in AI and edge computing;
• Data-intensive computing with emerging storage technologies;
• Neuromorphic and bio-inspired storage systems;
• Reliability, endurance, and performance optimization of new memory devices;
• Hardware–software co-design for computing–storage integration.

We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
