Alright, let's start.

So good afternoon everybody, now in English as we decided.

So welcome to

the first talk in our series New Morphic Colloquium in this semester.

Today we have a presentation

by Dietmar Fai about memory stores and in-memory computing.

Before he starts, I would like to

present our New Morphic Computing Labs of Nordbayern.

My name is Marco Breiling.

Let's

move to the next slide.

This one.

I'm the coordinator of this New Morphic Computing

Labs Nordbayern and you see it's a partnership of four partners besides University Erlangen

it's also D.H.

Nürnberg, Fraunhofer IIS and Leistungszentrum Elektroniksysteme in Erlangen

and our vision or our task is to bring New Morphic Computing into education

into research and also

into consulting.

The topics that we cover here are threefold basically.

So we had developed

New Morphic Accelerators and it's a hardware software co-design that means it is not simply

possible to design an accelerator without a compiler so we do both and more tools.

We

develop more over platforms that means not only the chip but also boards

eval kits and so on and

the software ecosystem to run the chips for specifically edge applications so we're not

into high-performance computing yet

maybe later on and the third is also algorithms so we develop

specific algorithms for these accelerators which can be either deep neural networks or spiking

neural networks and just one slide about our partners you see it's five partners from FAU

two from TR Nürnberg and three groups from Fraunhofer IIS.

So that is our New Morphic Computing

Labs.

Okay that's the end of the presentation and now let's move on to the presentation by

Dietmar Fei.

So while you are loading it up I will present you Dietmar.

It's actually a

Gewächs in German plant Kant you say in English of FAU so you started here in FAU

did also your

PhD here in 1992 then you went to University at Jena

did an assistant professorship there

until 1999 and wrote your habitation there.

In a different garden, the plant.

Afterwards you were a

private lecturer or privata in German at University of Siegen and 2002 you became a professor in Jena

for computer engineering and 2009 you switched then again back to your home garden became professor

for computer architectures Informatik 3 at FAU in 2009 and you've co-authored more than 200 papers

that's a lot that's pretty much and three books.

Okay so then I'm excited about your talk and the
