We study recurrent networks of binary stochastic Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (sMTJ), aiming at efficiently solving computationally hard optimization problems. After validating a prototyping route, we investigate the impact of hybrid CMOS+MTJ building block variants on the quality of stochastic sampling, a key feature for optimum search in a complex landscape. We carry out a functional […]

Bayesian NN (BayNN) using Dropout-based approximation provides a systematic approach for estimating the uncertainty of predictions. Despite such merit, they are not suitable for implementation in an embedded device and in most cases cannot meet high-performance demands for certain applications. Computation in-memory (CiM) architecture with spintronics emerging non-volatile memories (NVMs) is a great candidate for […]

Context The automated resolution of cognitive tasks primarily relies on learning algorithms applied to neural networks which, when executed on standard CMOS based digital architectures, lead to a power consumption several orders of magnitude larger than what the brain would require. Moreover, Conventional Edge neural network solutions can only provide output predictions, lacking the ability […]

On Monday September 04th, at 14:00, Manon DAMPFHOFFER (SPINTEC) will defend her PhD thesis entitled : Models and algorithms for implementing energy-efficient spiking neural networks on neuromorphic hardware at the edge Place : GreEn-ER – Grenoble INP- Ense3, amphi 2A006 zoom link : https://grenoble-inp.zoom.us/j/3741741553 ID : 374 174 1553 Password : 062839 Abstract : Deep […]

SPINTEC has currently several postdoc positions open to work on spintransfer-torque nano-oscillators based on magnetic tunnel junctions. Spintorque driven excitations within magnetic tunnel junctions show a large range of interesting, non-linear dynamic effects that are promising for low power implementations within wireless communication or unconventional computing systems. The different projects address at the same time […]
