MA 19: PhD Focus Session: Symposium on "Magnetism - A Potential Platform for Big Data?" (joint session MA/O/AKjDPG)

Friday, October 1, 2021, 13:30–16:30, H5

As pointed out in a recent Nature editorial article titled "Big data needs a hardware revolution", new technologies and hardware architectures are necessary in order to cope with the ever increasing amount of information. Google’s AlphaGo’s success apprised of the potential of parallel computing, yet energy efficiency remained as a major challenge. Hardware developers came up with mimicking the human brain as the most efficient processor, leading to the field of neuromorphic computing. An immense amount of research is deployed in different fields to screen for fast, low energy consuming and scalable solutions. In this focus session we elucidate on the potential role of magnetism in the development of non-Von Neumann hardware platforms to fulfill the current needs of AI and Big Data. An introduction to neuromorphic computing is followed by implementations of magnetic devices for processing and data storage in the information age. We finalise with a panel conversation with the speakers, where we aim to discuss the potential of magnetic-based devices in helping solve current challenges in the field of brain-inspired computing.
