H2020: FUN-Comp

Full Name: Functionally scaled computing technology: From novel devices to non-von Neumann architectures and algorithms for a connected intelligent world

Duration: 1/3/2018-1/3/2022

Partners:

• University of Exeter
• Thales
• WWU
• University of Oxford
• IBM Research Zurich
• IMEC
• C2N-CNRS

Objective:

• The Fun-COMP project aims to develop a new wave of industry-relevant technologies that will extend the limits facing mainstream processing and storage approaches. We will do this by delivering innovative nanoelectronic and nanophotonic devices and systems that fuse together the core information processing tasks of computing and memory, that incorporate in hardware the ability to learn adapt and evolve, that are designed from the bottom-up to take advantage of the huge benefits, in terms of increases in speed/bandwidth and reduction in power consumption, promised by the emergence of Silicon photonic systems.

INTEC's Role:

• Intec performs silicon photonics design and fabrication, and investigates self-learning reservoir computing.
