International collaboration explores new approaches to reliable and energy-efficient memory technologies.

The project Skywalker: Skyrmionics-aware and Compiler-centric Racetrack Architecture, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), has been approved for the period from 2026 to 2029. Researchers of TU Dortmund University will explore cutting-edge skyrmion-based racetrack memory systems in collaboration with the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) in Taiwan.

The goal is to develop cross-layer optimization strategies that enhance reliability, performance, and energy efficiency through co-design between hardware and software layers.

The international team includes Prof. Jian-Jia Chen (TU Dortmund), Prof. Jeronimo Castrillon (TU Dresden), as well as partners from four leading Taiwanese universities: National Taiwan University (Prof. Yuan-Hao Chang), National Tsinghua University (Prof. Meng-Fan Chang), National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (Prof. Po-Chun Huang) and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (Prof. Shuo-Han Chen). Collaborators include Prof. Dr. Stuart Parkin (Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, Halle) and Dr. Kuan-Hsun Chen (University of Twente).
