CogniGron Seminar: Bert Offrein (IBM-Research Zurich, CH) - "Analog signal processing for power-efficient neuromorphic computing"
| When: | Tu 17-01-2023 12:00 - 13:00 |
| Where: | Energy Academy Groningen (5159.0291) |
The energy footprint of neuromorphic computing is becoming an issue. New ways must be found to improve its efficiency and the performance. In this presentation, the challenges of today’s computing technology will be discussed and potential paths to overcome them are addressed. Examples of electrical and photonic concepts will be given and analyzed.
More about Bert Offrein:
Bert Offrein received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Twente (NL) in 1994.
