FP7 & H2020 Projects

• MNEMOSENE is a project with funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme. Its objectives include the improvement of the energy-delay product, the computational efficiency and performance density by several orders of magnitude compared to state-of-the-art architectures. A cornerstone of the proposed solution is the memristor-based Compute-in-Memory (CIM) architecture, which eliminates long-distance, high-latency data transfers between memory and computing units required in conventional Von Neumann-based architectures by carrying out computations for performance-critical operations directly in memory.

• TETRAMAX, Technology Transfer via Multinational Application Experiments, is funded by the H2020 “Smart Anything Everywhere (SAE)” initiative. The overall ambition is to build and leverage a European Competence Center Network in customized low-energy computing, providing easy access for SMEs and mid-caps to novel CLEC technologies via local contact points. This is a bidirectional interaction: SMEs can demand CLEC technologies and solutions via the network, and vice versa academic research institutions can actively and effectively offer their new technologies to European industries. Furthermore, TETRAMAX wants to support 50+ industry clients and 3rd parties with innovative technologies, using different kinds of Technology Transfer Experiments (TTX) to accelerate innovation within European industries and to create a competitive advantage in the global economy.
