2026 marks the 150th anniversary of Electrical and Computer Engineering at TUM. To celebrate this milestone, a special exhibition showcasing cutting-edge research was held at a historic and prestigious institution, the Deutsches Museum.

LIS members were among a selected group of researchers from TUM’s Electrical and Computer Engineering departments invited to present their latest innovations, research findings, and demonstrator platforms at the exhibition.

Marco Liess contributed a poster and demonstration highlighting his research on SmartNICs for next-generation mobile communication networks. His work focuses on power management in Linux-operated servers, where SmartNICs are leveraged to monitor incoming traffic and enhance adaptivity and decision-making for load balancing and frequency management in multi-core systems.

Oliver Lenke presented results from the BMBF/BMFTR MANNHEIM project CeCaS (Central Car Server), featuring the Self-Adaptive Safe-and-Secure Memory Controller (SASSMC), which accelerates compute tasks by pre-fetching relevant data from memory. At his exhibition stand, Oliver demonstrated a prototype car compute platform equipped with the SASSMC on an FPGA development board, illustrating the performance improvements for an automated lane detection algorithm.
