Description du projet
Logiciels et dispositifs innovants de modélisation des matériaux
Le rôle déterminant joué par le silicium dans les technologies de l’information et de la communication a fait des États-Unis et de la Chine les leaders mondiaux de leur développement et de leur production. Mais les mégadonnées, l’apprentissage machine et l’informatique quantique permettent à l’industrie européenne de s’écarter du modèle de la plateforme entièrement en silicium et de développer rapidement de nouvelles technologies reposant sur des matériaux et des dispositifs novateurs. Le projet INTERSECT, financé par l’UE, contribuera à renforcer le leadership européen en matière de logiciels et d’infrastructures de modélisation des matériaux. Il fournira des solutions intégrées prêtes pour l’industrie et entièrement adaptables à la vision de l’interopérabilité sémantique véhiculée par les ontologies standardisées. Pour favoriser le retour des logiciels de modélisation des matériaux dans l’industrie, INTERSECT fera le lien entre l’innovation scientifique et la production industrielle innovante de pointe et accélérera le processus de sélection des matériaux.
Objectif
Information-and-communication technologies have been historically powered by silicon, with development and production taking place mostly, albeit not exclusively, in the United States and in Asia. The current and major worldwide drive for big data, machine learning, and quantum computing will push away from this all-silicon platform, and provide a unique opportunity and a clean slate for European industry to rapidly deploy novel technologies based on innovative materials and devices. Leadership will require fast exploration of materials’ properties (e.g. memory effects for memristive computing), linking properties to performance in unexplored architectures, and assessing their business potential. INTERSECT wants to leverage European leadership in materials’ modelling software and infrastructure, as embodied in track record of the team, to provide industry-ready integrated solutions that are fully compliant with a vision of semantic interoperability driven by standardized ontologies. The resulting IM2D framework - an interoperable material-to-device simulation platform - will integrate some of the most used open-source materials modelling codes (Quantum ESPRESSO and SIESTA) with models and modelling software for emerging devices (GinestraTM) via the SimPhony infrastructure for semantic interoperability and ontologies, powered by the AiiDA workflow engine, and its data-on-demand capabilities and apps interface. API-compliance with established standards will allow pipelines to and from public repositories, and embedding into the front-end of materials hubs, such as MarketPlace, while testing, validation, and standardization will take place together with the industrial partners. INTERSECT will drive the uptake of materials modelling software in industry, bridging the gap between academic innovation and industrial novel production, with a goal of accelerating by one order of magnitude the process of materials’ selection and device design and deployment.
