Aim of the project and specific objectives
The main aim of the storAIge project is to setup a world-class manufacturing platform for silicon with Artificial Intelligence capabilities, prototyping high performance, FD-SOI low power and secured & safety components enabling competitive AI at the edge applications. Moving AI from the cloud to the edge will orient the storAIge technological developments towards 3 interdependent challenges:
- Increase the computing power (high performance),
- Lower the energy consumption (energy-efficient),
- Implement adequate security & privacy level,
The IM2NP will contribute at different levels. We will be involved to carry out electrical characterizations of various memory devices in order to study their reliability and energy consumption when used in a Near-Memory or In-Memory Computation (NMC or IMC) context. Finally, we will be able to present an innovative circuit architecture embedding NMC and/or IMC to target Binary or Ternary neural network inference at first step and learning in a second step.
