NEUROPULS Neuromorphic energy-efficient secure accelerators based on phase change materials augmented silicon photonics

Dr. Fabio Pavanello, Researcher CNRS at the Institut de Microélectronique Electromagnétisme Photonique et Laboratoire d'Hyperfréquences et de Caractérisation (IMEP-LaHC) in Grenoble, France

Abstract:

Neuromorphic energy-efficient secure accelerators based on phase change materials augmented silicon photonics" In this talk I will discuss the goals and objectives of the recently funded Horizon Europe project NEUROPULS. First, I will introduce the current challenges in edge-computing and security that the project is aiming to tackle, then I will present the proposed strategy based on a highly multi-disciplinary approach covering the entire supply chain from emerging materials and fabrication platforms to prototypes and high-level simulation platforms. Finally, I will illustrate our method to benchmark the performance of the developed accelerator based on three use-cases in autonomous driving, anomaly detection, and GNSS positioning.

Participation is open to all , we look forward to seeing you there!
