> Recently, representative array-level demonstrations have been reported. These include IBM’s 500 × 661 phase change memory array for handwritten-digit recognition using the Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST) database (52), Tsinghua’s 128 × 8 analogue resistive RAM array for face recognition (53), UCSB’s 12 × 12 crossbar array for pattern recognition (54), and UCSB’s floating-gate array for MNIST image recognition (55)

> The energy efficiency of the system was over 119.7 trillion equivalent operations per second per watt using
> a readout of 10ns, and this is expected to increase significantly with larger vectors and matrices and with improvements in circuitry
