2019 Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship

Oscar Castañeda and Alexandra Gallyas-Sanhueza have received a 2019 Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship for their proposal, “PPAC: In-Memory Accelerator for Matrix-Vector-Product-Like Tasks.” PPAC (an acronym for Parallel-Processor in Associative Content-addressable memory), is an efficient and versatile in-memory accelerator for a broad range of matrix-vector-product-like tasks. PPAC was developed jointly under SRC JUMP ComSenTer and the SRC nCORE DEEP3M project and finds immediate use for all-digital spatial equalization in THz systems.
