This work

  1. aThe energy consumption per spike is calculated approximately from the P–t, V–t and I–t curves in these reference papers, respectively.
  2. To unify the benchmark, all the sensory components in these reference papers are equivalent to three categories: memristor (M), transistor (T), and pressure sensor (PS).
