SPIDER

​The rapid advancement of electronic devices and computing is constantly pushing for smaller and smaller devices. However, the spread of this trend is limited by increased power density and heating in chips. This is why there’s also a push for ultralow-power high-performance computing technologies that optimise their power-to-performance area. In this context, the EU-funded SPIDER project will satisfy this need by developing a novel hybrid spin wave and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) computing system. This technology has the potential to reduce power and area consumption in computing, along with CMOS chips required for its operation. It will lay the foundation for improved spin wave technologies and also provide low power and area computing.
