About Crossbar Inc.
Crossbar develops resistive RAM, or ReRAM, a type of non-volatile memory that stores data by changing the resistance of a thin material and so keeps it without power. Its design uses a crosspoint array, in which memory cells sit at the intersections of crossing wires and can be stacked in layers. The company aims to supply the technology to chipmakers and system-on-chip developers. It was founded in 2010 as a spin-out of the University of Michigan and is based in Santa Clara, California.

What Crossbar Inc. works on
Memristors & ReRAM
A memristor is an electronic component whose resistance depends on the current that has passed through it, and it keeps that resistance when power is off. Leon Chua described the idea in 1971. In 2008 researchers at HP Labs published a device they linked to it.
In-Memory Computing
In-memory computing does calculations inside or right next to the memory that stores the data, instead of copying the data to a separate processor. It is also called processing-in-memory (PIM) or compute-in-memory.
Memory & Storage
Memory and storage hold the data that processors work on. Memory such as DRAM is fast and loses its contents when power is removed. Storage such as flash (NAND) is slower, cheaper per bit and keeps data without power.
