Computers have become indispensable in our daily lives. In conventional computers, computation and data storage are physically separated, which is commonly referred to as a von Neumann architecture. However, von Neumann computers will ultimately fail to meet the increasing demand for the emerging applications such as the internet of things (IoT), which require ultra-​low power consumption, a compact architecture, as well as big data, which requires frequent access to vast amounts of data.
