Conducting research for a changing society: This is what drives us at Forschungszentrum Jülich. As a member of the Helmholtz Association, we aim to tackle the grand societal challenges of our time and conduct research into the possibilities of a digitized society, a climate-friendly energy system, and a resource-efficient economy. Work together with around 7,400 employees in one of Europe's biggest research centers and help us to shape change!
Dealing with the challenges imposed by climate change demands the realization of extremely energy-efficient hardware for future cognitive and self-learning IT systems. This requires disruptive concepts involving new non-volatile storage devices and innovative circuit designs to overcome the performance limits of today's computers. Memristive devices inherently combine the ability to process and to store data in the same physical place, which eliminates the need for large data movement. The mission of Peter Grünberg Institute – Electronic Materials (PGI-7) (fz-juelich.de/de/pgi/pgi-7) is to create a scientific technological basis to make energy-efficient neuromorphic computing inspired by the functioning of the human brain usable. We focus on developing memristive devices based on the physical-chemical understanding of the switching phenomena, improving performance and reliability as we scale, and implementing crossbar-architectures for in-memory computing and energy-efficient NC circuits.
