WHO |
Me and Nicolas Merlinge, supervised by Davide Sachetto and the professor |
WHERE |
EPFL, Microelectronic Systems Lab |
WHY |
The microelectronic circuit world is super excited by memristors |
HOW |
Can you believe I was payed to work on research concerning hardware neural nets?! Yeah, pretty weird considering I am largely a CS guy. Still, I have a EE degree in addition to a CS one, and undeniably had some VLSI experience, so worked on it I did. The problem was very loosely defined at first, and it was very interesting to converge on a goal of trying to replicate the results another group got through a software simulation with a simulation of the actual hardware that the software was emulating (very loosely, too). The details of how this was all done are in the attached summary, but suffice it to say my low-level VLSI skills were significalty tested and expanded over the summer. |
