Dispelling prejudices and shaping the future: "inside" article with Junior-Prof. Lotte Geck

In the newest issue of the employee magazine "inside 3 | 2024" from Forschungszentrum Jülich, our colleague and team leader (System Modeling) Junior-Prof. Lotte Geck talks about her career.

Welcome to ICA: Our focus are Integrated Computing Architectures.

Integrated Computing Architectures (ICA) is a scientific institute of Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH performing research and innovation in different fields of Future Computing paradigms using semiconductor solutions to enable the scalability of novel computing approaches. This reaches from system modeling over implementations up to system integration of novel devices, like memristors and qubits to enable real applications to significantly advance today’s computing capabilities.

Introducing Dolphin.SNN: A 28 nm Coupled Oscillator Chip for Advanced Network and Computing Research

We are happy to share that coupled oscillator chip Dolpin.SNN, is here! Dolphin.SNN, implemented in 28 nm process technology, is inspired by the Kuramoto model with delay to emulate real-world systems. This chip serves as a platform for studying coupled oscillators where each oscillator is represented by a Phase Locked Loop (PLL).

Building a Neuromorphic Accelerator Model: Internship Experience at ICA

In February, Alexander Sulaberidze, Student of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Free University of Tbilisi, Georgia, spent a one-month internship at our institute ICA | PGI-4. During this time, he was able to gain many new insights thanks to the Georgian-German Science Bridge project. We are happy that Alexander contributed so well and at the end of his internship he also gave a lecture in our weekly lecture series.

3rd Annual Meeting of the Jülich Neuromorphic Computing Community at ICA

Yesterday, we had a great 3rd annual meeting of the Jülich Neuromorphic Computing community. Being the 3rd gathering, we can surely count this as a tradition by now. Around 75 scientists from all participating institutes engaged in a day full of fruitful discussions and exchange on our current and future work as well as new or renewed plans to strengthen an intensive exchange.

MINTmachtage 2025: nationwide campaign by the Kinder forschen foundation for good early STEM education
