The HOCOS (Hardware-Oriented Computer Science) group of ITI is proud to present its most recent work on optimal synthesis of digital circuits based on emerging devices called memristors, at DATE, the leading European conference on electronic system design and test. This work, conducted jointly with the Leibnitz Institute of Photonic Technology and the University of Jena, utilizes for the first time the versatility of memristive devices to perform different logic operations, resulting in mixed-mode circuits that are 3 to 4 times faster and smaller than conventional memristive implementations.
We are also organizing the 3rd Workshop on Nano Security embedded into the DATE program, with an attractive program that includes a keynote by Professor Massimilano Di Ventra on MemComputing and its implications for security; an invited talk from Dr. Damian Dudek, the managing director of VDE-ITG; two technical sessions on secure emerging technologies and on physical attacks; and a poster session on the projects from the DFG Priority Program SPP 2253, which Prof. Polian is coordinating, including two projects in which ITI is involved.
Prof. Polian is part of DATE since many years, having been member and chair of several topics and having served as Track Chair for the six topics of the T track for three years. For this edition of DATE, he has established and chaired a new topic D16 “Design Automation for Quantum Computing”.
