Summary Report from 2015 Neuro-Inspired Computational Elements (NICE) Workshop, February 23-25, 2015. Information Processing and Computation Systems beyond von Neumann/Turing Architecture and Moore’s Law Limits
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
The third Neuro-Inspired Computational Elements (NICE) Workshop was held February 23-25, 2015 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The goal of the Workshop was to bring together researchers from different scientific disciplines and application areas to provide a common point from which to develop the next generation of information processing/computing architectures that go beyond stored program architecture and Moore’s Law limits. Conventional, stored program architecture systems are designed for algorithmic and exact calculations. Many high impact problems, however, involve large, noisy, incomplete, “natural” data sets that do not lend themselves to convenient solutions from current systems. This Workshop series has focused on addressing these problems by building upon the convergence among neuroscience, microelectronics, and computational systems to develop new architectures designed to handle these natural data sets. An international group of nearly 100 registered attendees with a wide range of expertise and experience (e.g., neuroscience, systems, microelectronics, applications, and potential funding agencies) participated in this year’s event by offering knowledgeable insight regarding: Applications that look for solutions beyond the capabilities of current computational systems; Technical approaches that are at the early to middle stages of development for new computational systems; Pathways and resources to accelerate the development of these new systems.
