Osnabrück University Leads €6.3M DFG Project to Revolutionize Memory Technologies
The University of Osnabrück is leading a nationwide programme, 'Disruptive Main Technology Innovations', funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) with around 6.3 million euros each period. The project, coordinated by Prof. Dr. Olaf Spinczyk, aims to revolutionise technology, enabling laptops to remain in standby indefinitely and perform calculations in technology modules.
In 2021, Prof. Spinczyk and his colleagues at the University of Osnabrück, through the Embedded Software Systems (ESS) research group, developed disruptive main technology innovations with DFG support. Intel has already introduced technology modules that retain data when turned off, initially for servers. The scientists now envision laptops with similar capabilities, reducing power consumption during standby.
The subproject SMAUG focuses on creating models of new technology. These models will connect applications and data with the right technology types and system components, ensuring desired system behaviour like fast response times or fail-safe operation. The goal is to generate these models automatically for use in operation. French startup UPMEM has already brought technology modules that can perform calculations, accelerating applications by a factor of ten to a hundred.
The 'Disruptive Main Technology Innovations' programme, now in its second three-year funding period, is set to experimentally implement and evaluate its innovative approaches in a research operating system. The University of Osnabrück, led by Prof. Spinczyk, continues to push the boundaries of technology, promising significant advancements in power efficiency and computational capabilities.
