Mission 10-X
Novel Approaches for Energy-Efficient Computing of the Future.
Technology alliance from semiconductor industry to end user companies. Drives a paradigm shift towards energy efficient, high performance computing. This includes a full stack computing evolvement (from materials, to devices, circuits, and architecture concepts, to - neuromorphic - brain-inspired computation). New techniques such as cryogenic, opto-magnetic, and 3D NAND chip design (memory and logic integrated). Involved companies are: ASM-International, ASML, IBM Research Europe (CH), Boskalis, members of iTanks and FBNed. The Universities of Twente, Nijmegen, Eindhoven and later also Groningen, have taken the lead from the academic field in The Netherlands. Today, innovations and competitive advantage are to a large part driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI). At the same time AI is a strong driver of the ICT energy consumption increase.
