Abstract

The project MeM-Scales aims at lifting neuromorphic computing in analog spiking microprocessors to an entirely new level of performance. The project will target the fabrication of an innovative hardware/software platform as a basis for future products which combine extreme power efficiency with robust cognitive computing capabilities. This new kind of computing technology will open new perspectives, for instance, for high-dimensional distributed environmental monitoring, implantable medical diagnostic microchips, wearable electronics or human-computer interfacing.
In the project, CNR will lead WP2 and will contribute to WP1, WP3 and WP5 bringing its know-how in the field of RRAM technology, materials synthesis and chemical/physical/electrical characterization down to nanoscale, functional electrical testing to address the synaps emulation and network simulation.
