memristor play just shot up over 7% today.
NYSE:HPQ
Say goodbye to spinning hard disks as soon as in 18 months ... memory storage revolution is no revolving disk.
========================
"... Memristor ( /ˈmɛmrɨstər/; a portmanteau of "memory resistor") is a passive two-terminal electrical component envisioned as a fundamental non-linear circuit element relating charge and magnetic flux linkage. The memristor is currently under development by a team at Hewlett-Packard. ... In October 2011, the same team announced the commercial availability of memristor technology within 18 months, as a replacement for Flash, SSD, DRAM and SRAM.[7] In March 2012, a team of researchers from HRL Laboratories and the University of Michigan announced the first functioning memristor array built on a CMOS chip for applications in neuromorphic computer architectures. ...
" ... solid-state memristors can be combined into devices called crossbar latches, which could replace transistors in future computers, taking up a much smaller area.
They can also be fashioned into non-volatile solid-state memory, which would allow greater data density than hard drives with access times potentially similar to DRAM, replacing both components.[42] HP prototyped a crossbar latch memory using the devices that can fit 100 gigabits in a square centimeter,[5] and has designed a highly scalable 3D design (consisting of up to 1000 layers or 1 petabit per cm3).[43] HP has reported that its version of the memristor is currently about one-tenth the speed of DRAM.[44] The devices' resistance would be read with alternating current so that the stored value would not be affected.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor
