One key consideration in information storage is the energy cost of storage and what impact the available energy has on the information capacity of the devices. In this paper, we propose and study an energy-information trade-off for a particular kind of memristive device - Self-Directed Channel (SDC) memristors. We perform experiments to model the energy required to set the devices into various states, as well as assessing the stability of these states over time. Based on these results, we employ a generative modelling approach, using a conditional Generative Adversarial Network (cGAN) to characterise the storage conditional distribution, allowing us to estimate energy-information curves for a range of storage delays, showing the graceful trade-off between energy consumed and the effective capacity of the devices.","short_abstract":"Understanding the nature of information storage on memristors is vital to enable their use in novel data storage and neuromorphic applications.
