Nowadays, neuromorphic systems based on memristors are considered promising approaches to the hardware realization of artificial intelligence with efficient information processing. However, a major bottleneck in physical implementation these is strong dependence their performance unavoidable variations (cycle‐to‐cycle, c2c, or device‐to‐device, d2d) memristive devices. Recently, reservoir computing (RC) and spiking (SNSs) separately proposed as valuable options partially mitigate this...
