The explosive growth of artificial intelligence and its movement to the edge and end devices have prompted significant research on highly energy efficient and low-latency non-von Neumann computing paradigms such as in-memory computing (IMC)​.

The overarching objective of NeuroSoC is to develop a flexible computing system where an analog IMC-based neural processing unit is integrated into a multi-processor functional safe and secure system-on-chip to tackle the requirements of a wide set of edge-AI applications.

The NeuroSoC approach relying on a solid, mature, and qualified reliable Phase Change Memory technology, will enable to create an industrially proven path to go past the state of the art​, answering to the level of maturity need which is compatible with a mass volume production and cost.
