  • Researchers at KIT are addressing the challenges posed by the rapid growth in data volumes and the demands of AI technologies through the ATHENS project. The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded a Synergy Grant to the ATHENS research project,

The article from SciTechDaily discusses a significant advancement in AI technology through the development of new materials aimed at enhancing the speed of data processing. Researchers have introduced a novel type of memory device that integrates processing and storage, reducing the latency typically associated with traditional computing systems where data must travel between separate memory and processing units. This innovation, known as "in-memory computing," uses materials that can both store data and perform computations, thereby dramatically increasing the efficiency and speed of AI operations. The breakthrough involves the use of phase-change materials, which can switch between different states to represent data, allowing for computations to occur directly where the data is stored. This approach not only promises to accelerate AI and machine learning tasks but also aims to lower energy consumption, addressing one of the major challenges in scaling up AI applications. The article highlights how this could lead to faster, more energy-efficient AI systems, potentially revolutionizing fields like autonomous driving, real-time data analysis, and more.
