Grants with Industry

• ANR MHANN (Memristive Hardware Artificial Neural Networks Accelerators): The purpose of this project is to build a medium scale prototype of such a bio inspired architecture, by using long life and nanometric-ferroelectric memristors. The area, performance and power benefits of this approach will be evaluated to define its interest for embedded systems. The MHANN project is multi disciplinary in the sense that it proposes new physical concepts for devices (physics) and aims at integrating them into on chip bio inspired architectures (micro electronics, computer science and architectures).

• ANR NEMESIS (NEuroMorphic hardwarE for Smart vIsion Sensor ): This project aims at exploring the potential of biologically-inspired spike-based image processing supported by the realization of massively parallel yet scalable hardware thanks to 3D stacking of integrated circuits.

• ANR Arch2Neu (Neuromorphic hardware and software environment for versatile computing): Arch2Neu aims at investigating the potential of neuromorphic architectures for computing purposes, and particularly for signal-processing applications. We develop analog neural hardware, interconnections architectures, libraries, and compilers to provide to the user a versatile and efficient computing machine.
