Neuromorphic Computing
About
In this topic, we work on bio-inspired, post-van-Neumann computing paradigms, starting from physical-mathematical principles to the implementation level of prototype systems (e.g. based on FPGAs) or specially designed integrated circuits. These developments include CMOS- and system integration of emerging devices like memristive materials into neuromorphic computing (NC) architectures. With this, we aim to enable benchmarking of full systems in various application areas.
Research Topics
- NC Systems in Applications
Bringing the NC system into applications especially for edge computing.
- Advanced Networks and Interconnects
Enabling scalable neuromorphic systems with optimized digital and analog interconnects.
- Configurable Neuromorphic Compute Units
Desiging programmable computing arrays to implement different computing paradigms (Computing in Memory, Content Addressable Memory, Spiking Neural Networks, Oscillatory Neural Networks, …).
- Brain-Inspired Processing Elements
Implementing complex neuron models (“neural-based computing”) in modern CMOS nodes.
