Abstract(in English) There has been a great deal of research into the development of domain-specific circuits for multiply-and-accumulate processing, which play a central role in machine learning by interpreting new physical phenomena into computing and storage capabilities. On the other hand, these devices have an unresolved operation principle, and therefore, compact models that are essential for circuit design cannot be created with sufficient accuracy. In this study, we propose a compact modeling method based on Gaussian processes for memristors. Although modeling methods based on machine learning have been proposed in the past, only the accuracy of reproduction by SPICE has been evaluated, and long learning times have not been sufficiently discussed. The proposed method reduces the learning time by using a Gaussian process and also reduces the inference time in SPICE simulation by considering sparsity. Evaluation using data of memristor devices obtained by actual measurements shows that the proposed method is more than 3,239 times faster than existing methods using LSTM (long short-term memory), and that inference on a commercial SPICE simulator can be performed with the same accuracy and computation time.
