Horizon-EIC-Pathfinder: DOLOREs

Full Name: Digital optical computing platform for neural networks

Duration: 1/12/2023-31/12/2027

Partners:

• DTU, DENMARK
• TUE, THE NETHERLANDS
• IMEC, BELGIUM
• TNO, THE NETHERLANDS
• KU (KOPENHAGEN UNIVERSITET), DENMARK
• CORNERSTONE, UK

Objective:

• DOLORES aims to explore and develop a radically new digital optical computing platform to create a new class of processors, namely a digital optical neural network (DONN) processor, that is fundamentally different from any ONN scheme and solves the aforementioned obstacles. Integrating the best of photonics and electronics, DOLORES is expected to revolutionize optical computing, and in the long-term vision enable new possibilities that are barely supported by today’s computing hardware. If successful, DOLORES can pave the way for a new era in AI, drastically accelerating neural networks and deep learning applications, which have the potential to transform many sectors of our society, including healthcare, finance, and transportation.

INTEC's Role:

• Realisation of DFB laser arrays through mTP.
