The taskforce has been asked to come up with new ways of designing future microchip memories which take into account the variability and unreliability of nano-scale transistors.
The 'Tera-scale Reliable Adaptive Memory Systems' (TRAMS) consortium includes: Intel Corp. Iberia, Interuniversitair Micro-Elektronica Centrium vzw, the University of Glasgow, and the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, and is financed through the EU's Framework Programme 7 science research fund.
Professor Asen Asenov, of the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Glasgow said, "Tera-scale computing will transform the power, performance and functionality of personal computers, phones and other electronic devices as well as large computing facilities such as data centres."
