Project description
Making microprocessors more energy efficient
Each one of our roughly 30 billion wireless devices are tiny power consumers – and as many with a low battery can attest, they aren’t very efficient. By 2035, these devices could number a trillion. That’s why the EU-funded MINIMA EDA project wants to create more energy-efficient microprocessors using new ultra-low computing technology. The project will develop patented hardware and software components which are directly integrated into microprocessors prior to their manufacturing. This will allow enhanced performance and greater energy efficiency in the wireless devices which power the internet of things.
Objective
Number of wireless devices is growing rapidly. Today, there are 30 billion wireless devices in circulation, like our smartphones. However, by 2035, there will be 1 trillion of these wireless devices in circulation.
Nearly each of these devices has a brain called a microprocessor. Unlike brains, their energy efficiency leaves a lot to be desired. This is why Minima exists. We make microprocessors consume radically less energy using our ultra-low computing technology. This makes wireless intelligent devices energy efficient.
Our patented technology consists of hardware & software components that are directly integrated into microprocessors prior to manufacturing. This enhances performance & energy efficiency of wireless devices that power the Internet of Everything, that are often tasked with collecting & analysing data directly at the source.
This allows us to enter the 6.3 billion semiconductor market and change the markets energy consumption from the inside out.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
