Project description
Research could revolutionise neuromorphic computer technology
Neuromorphic computing uses networks of artificial neurons and synapses to perform data processing tasks with unprecedented efficiency. Highly interconnected synaptic connections are crucial for the success of neuromorphic computing, but realising them with conventional electronic circuits is challenging. The EU-funded CoSpiN project aims to overcome this problem. To this end, researchers will rely on spin waves, the collective excitations of spins in a magnetic material. The main goal is to create and experimentally validate innovative physical building blocks for creating a novel nanoscaled, all-spintronic network structure that incorporates all necessary properties for neuromorphic computing, including high non-linearity, interconnectivity and reprogrammability.
