Brain-inspired approaches and ultrafast magnetism for Green ICT — •Theo Rasing — Radboud University, Institute for Molecules and Materials, Heijendaalseweg 135, 6525AJ Nijmegen, the Netherlands

The explosive growth of digital data use and storage has led to an enormous rise in global energy consumption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), which already stands at 7% of the world electricity consumption. New ICT technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence push this exponentially increasing energy requirement even more, though the underlying hardware paradigm is utterly inefficient: tasks like pattern recognition can be performed by the human brain with only 20W, while conventional (super)computers require 10 MW. Therefore, the development of radically new physical principles that combine energy-efficiency with high speeds and high densities is crucial for a sustainable future. One of those is the use of non-thermodynamic routes that promises orders of magnitude faster and more energy efficient manipulation of bits. Another one is neuromorphic computing, that is inspired by the notion that our brain uses a million times less energy than a supercomputer while, at least for some tasks, it even outperforms the latter. In this talk, I will discuss the state of the art in ultrafast manipulation of magnetic bits and present some first results to implement brain-inspired computing concepts in magnetic materials that operate close to these ultimate limits.
