Netherlands Initiative for energy-efficient computing ‘NL-ECO’
Funding: NWO
Project duration:
The digital revolution has benefited mankind enormously. The widespread use of digital devices and technologies, such as computers, internet and data centres, generally make our life more efficient and provide opportunities in areas of application such as medicine. These technologies are energy guzzlers, however. The volume of digital information we process and store and the associated energy costs are growing exponentially. To rein in that huge growth in energy consumption, NL-ECO aims to develop new materials, technologies and scientific insights for energy-efficient information technology.
Inspiration for these new technologies were drawn from the human brain, which is still the most energy-efficient computer available. The wide-ranging project consortium comprises 33 organizations in the academic world, societal partners, local government and industry. The Applied Nanotechnology research group will contribute to this by:
- the development of novel computing materials integrated with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductors (CMOS);
- and by realization and testing of demonstrators containing a biologically inspired system for texture exploration.
