Computer Systems Systems Systems

In conventional computing systems, processors and memory are separate units, and moving data between them consumes significantly more energy than the computations themselves. Novel computing paradigms overcome this bottleneck by enabling computations closer to or sometimes inside the memory where data is stored. This demo showcases a toy example of one such system and how it can perform complex operations much faster than conventional systems.

Description

In herkömmlichen Computersystemen sind Prozessoren und Speicher getrennte Einheiten, und die Übertragung von Daten zwischen ihnen verbraucht wesentlich mehr Energie als die Berechnungen selbst. Neuartige Rechenparadigmen überwinden diesen Engpass, indem sie Berechnungen in der Nähe oder manchmal sogar innerhalb des Speichers ermöglichen, in dem die Daten gespeichert sind. Diese Demo zeigt ein Beispiel für ein solches System und wie es komplexe Operationen viel schneller als herkömmliche Systeme durchführen kann.

At the Chair for Compiler Construction, we explore how compilers bridge the gap between high-level programs and a wide range of modern hardware architectures. This demo showcases a toy example of that journey: understanding how both conventional and emerging systems operate, writing code for them, observing how a compiler optimizes that code, and seeing how it is executed on traditional CPUs as well as on novel in-memory computing platforms.

Guided tours on “How do you do research in the nanoworld?” (@NaMLab gGmbH)

Take a look inside the cleanroom together with our scientists and learn facts about the structure and working in this environment. The questions of how clean is actually clean and why a cleanroom is needed will also be answered. Let us explain to you the possibilities for examining nanometer-thin layers optically, electrically and physically.
