New center to develop next-generation computing technologies

Nanowerk  January 15, 2018
Applications and Systems-driven Center for Energy-Efficient integrated Nano Technologies (ASCENT) led by the University of Notre Dame will pursue four areas of technology including three-dimensional integration of device technologies beyond a single planar layer (vertical CMOS); spin-based device concepts that combine processing and memory functions (beyond CMOS); heterogeneous integration of functionally diverse nano-components into integrated microsystems (heterogeneous integration fabric); and hardware accelerators for data intensive cognitive workloads (merged logic-memory fabric). ASCENT is funded by Semiconductor Research Corporation… read more.
