Diffusive Memristor as a Synapse

Neuromorphic computing, systems designed to mimic the biological nervous system, require far less power than current computer processors. The increased efficiency makes feasible artificial intelligence applications for smaller, hand-held devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets). To this end, UMass inventors have designed hardware components that mimic neuronal...

A new method of managing heap memory for NUMA architecture

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTIONToday’s computers have multiple processing cores to improve performance; however, a bottleneck arises in multi-core processors where there is only one memory controller, as each processor would need to be able to access the same memory. The Non-Uniform Memory Access computing architecture, or NUMA, addresses this bottleneck...

RigNet: Neural Rigging for Articulated Characters

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION Character rigging is the process where animators fit a skeleton to a 3D model, which then allows the animators to manipulate the movement of, or animate, the model. Currently, animators must manually define the skeleton’s joints, how they’re connected, and how the model’s body parts move. This is a very time...

Hierarchically Ordered Nanoscale Electric Field Concentrators for Embedded Thin Film Devices

Resistance switching devices, also known as memristive devices, represent the next generation in computing. With a typical metal-oxide-metal structure, memristors change resistance under different external biases and retain this new resistance even when power is turned off. This allows memristors to store data without needing constant power like in...

EyeFrame: Real-time domain-general multitasking assistance

Though many paradigms have been developed to study multitasking using eye tracking, most traditional applications of eye tracking are not used in real time, but instead to augment training or simply to observe optimal strategies. As eye tracking methods become more popular, they have been applied in the field of human-computer interaction and usability,...
