Abstract Brain-inspired neuromorphic computing has been extensively researched, taking advantage of increased computer power, the acquisition of massive data, and algorithm optimization. Neuromorphic computing requires mimicking synaptic plasticity and enables near-in-sensor computing. In synaptic transistors, how to elaborate and examine the link between microstructure and characteristics is a major difficulty. Due to the absence of interlayer shielding effects, defect-free interfaces, and wide spectrum responses, reducing the thickness of organic crystals to the 2D limit has a lot of application possibilities in this computing paradigm. This paper presents an update on the progress of 2D organic crystal-based transistors for data storage and neuromorphic computing. The promises and synthesis methodologies of 2D organic crystals are summarized. Following that, applications of 2D organic crystals for ferroelectric nonvolatile memory, circuit-type optoelectronic synapses, and neuromorphic computing are addressed. Finally, new insights and challenges for the field's future prospects are presented, pushing the boundaries of neuromorphic computing even farther.

Computers nowadays have different components for data storage and data processing, making data transfer between these units a bottleneck for computing speed. Therefore, so-called cognitive (or neuromorphic) computing approaches try combining both these tasks, as is done in the human brain, to make computing faster and less energy-consuming. One possible method to prepare new hardware solutions for neuromorphic computing is given by nanofiber networks as they can be prepared by diverse methods, from lithography to electrospinning. Here, we show results of micromagnetic simulations of three coupled semicircle fibers in which domain walls are excited by rotating magnetic fields (inputs), leading to different output signals that can be used for stochastic data processing, mimicking biological synaptic activity and thus being suitable as artificial synapses in artificial neural networks.

Abstract Due to the continuous development of information technology, data has increasingly become the core of the daily operation of enterprises and institutions, the main basis for decision-making development. At the same time, due to the development of network, the storage and management of computer data has attracted more and more attention. Aiming at the common problems of computer data storage and management in practical work, this paper analyzes the object and content of data management, investigates the situation of computer data storage and management in China in recent two years, and interviews and tests the data of programming in this design platform. At the same time, in view of the related problems, the research results are applied to practice. On the basis of big data, the storage and management platform is designed. The research and design adopts a special B+ tree node linear structure of CIRC tree, and the linear node structure is changed into a ring structure, which greatly reduces the number of data persistence instructions and the performance overhead. The results show that compared with the most advanced B+ tree design for nonvolatile memory, crab tree has 3.1 times and 2.5 times performance improvement in reading and writing, respectively. Compared with the previous NV tree designed for nonvolatile memory, it has a performance improvement of 1.5 times, and a performance improvement of 8.4 times compared with the latest fast-fair. In the later stage, the expansion of the platform functions is conducive to the analysis and construction of data related storage and management functions, and further improve the ability of data management.

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are embedded with software, electronics, and sensors, and feature connectivity with constrained resources. They require the edge computing paradigm, with modular characteristics relying on microservices, to provide an extensible and lightweight computing framework at the edge of the network. Edge computing can relieve the burden of centralized cloud computing by performing certain operations, such as data storage and task computation, at the edge of the network. Despite the benefits of edge computing, it can lead to many challenges in terms of security and privacy issues. Thus, services that protect privacy and secure data are essential functions in edge computing. For example, the end user’s ownership and privacy information and control are separated, which can easily lead to data leakage, unauthorized data manipulation, and other data security concerns. Thus, the confidentiality and integrity of the data cannot be guaranteed and, so, more secure authentication and access mechanisms are required to ensure that the microservices are exposed only to authorized users. In this paper, we propose a microservice security agent to integrate the edge computing platform with the API gateway technology for presenting a secure authentication mechanism. The aim of this platform is to afford edge computing clients a practical application which provides user authentication and allows JSON Web Token (JWT)-based secure access to the services of edge computing. To integrate the edge computing platform with the API gateway, we implement a microservice security agent based on the open-source Kong in the EdgeX Foundry framework. Also to provide an easy-to-use approach with Kong, we implement REST APIs for generating new consumers, registering services, configuring access controls. Finally, the usability of the proposed approach is demonstrated by evaluating the round trip time (RTT). The results demonstrate the efficiency of the system and its suitability for real-world applications.

AbstractArtificial synaptic devices based on natural organic materials are becoming the most desirable for extending their fields of applications to include wearable and implantable devices due to their biocompatibility, flexibility, lightweight, and scalability. Herein, we proposed a zein material, extracted from natural maize, as an active layer in an artificial synapse. The synaptic device exhibited notable digital-data storage and analog data processing capabilities. Remarkably, the zein-based synaptic device achieved recognition accuracy of up to 87% and exhibited clear digit-classification results on the learning and inference test. Moreover, the recognition accuracy of the zein-based artificial synapse was maintained within a difference of less than 2%, regardless of mechanically stressed conditions. We believe that this work will be an important asset toward the realization of wearable and implantable devices utilizing artificial synapses.

The relational database is defined as the database by connecting between tables. Each table has a collection of information. The information is processed in the database by using queries, such as data retrieval, data storage, and data conversion. If the information in the table or data has a large size, then the query process to process the database becomes slow. In this paper, Genetic Algorithm is used to process queries in order to optimize and reduce query execution time. The results obtained are query execution with genetic algorithm optimization to show the best execution time. The genetic algorithm processes the query by changing the structure of the relation and rearranging it. The fitness value generated from the genetic algorithm becomes the best solution. The fitness used is the highest fitness of each experiment results. In this experiment, the database used is  MySQL sample database which is named as employees. The database has a total of over 3,000,000 rows in 6 tables. Queries are designed by using 5 relations in the form of a left deep tree. The execution time of the query is 8.14247 seconds and the execution time after the optimization of the genetic algorithm is 6.08535 seconds with the fitness value of 0.90509. The time generated after optimization of the genetic algorithm is reduced by 25.3%. It shows that genetic algorithm can reduce query execution time by optimizing query in the part of relation. Therefore, query optimization with genetic algorithm can be an alternative solution and can be used to maximize query performance.

Tristable memristic switching provides the capability for multi-bit data storage. In this study, all-inorganic multi-bit memory devices were successfully manufactured by the attachment of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) onto graphene oxide (GO) through a solution-processable method. By means of doping GQDs as charge-trapping centers, the device indium-tin oxide (ITO)/GO:0.5 wt%GQDs/Ni revealed controllable memristic switching behaviors that were tunable from binary to ternary, and remarkably enhanced in contrast with ITO/GO/Ni. It was found that the device has an excellent performance in memristic switching parameters, with a SET1, SET2 and RESET voltage of −0.9 V, −1.7 V and 5.15 V, as well as a high ON2/ON1/OFF current ratio (103:102:1), and a long retention time (104 s) together with 100 successive cycles. The conduction mechanism of the binary and ternary GO-based memory cells was discussed in terms of experimental data employing a charge trapping-detrapping mechanism. The reinforcement effect of GQDs on the memristic switching of GO through cycle-to-cycle operation has been extensively investigated, offering great potential application for multi-bit data storage in ultrahigh-density, nonvolatile memory.
