DARPA RFI: Innovative Low Resource Computing Paradigms for Microsystems

This opportunity is a Request for Information (RFI) from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Multi X Office (MXO) focused on advancing low resource computing (LRC) paradigms for microsystems. - DARPA seeks input on innovative LRC paradigms and processes not currently used in microsystems - Areas of interest include materials, components, runtime, and authoring levels - Goal is to enable robust, ultra-efficient systems for environments with limited power, communication, or space - No specific products, part numbers, or OEMs are identified - The RFI is open to all parties with relevant concepts or information - This is not a solicitation for goods or services, but an information-gathering effort - Potential for future research or development opportunities based on submitted concepts

Description

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Multi X Office (MXO) seeks information on low resource computing (LRC) paradigms and processes applicable to, but not yet utilized in, microsystems. DARPA is interested in identifying untapped potential for LRC within its operational and technological base. The Department of War (DoW) typically operates in environments with limited power, communication, or physical space, where mission completion depends on the ability to sustain critical computation and adapt at the edge. LRC offers a promising path towards advancing the DoW’s mission. DARPA is interested in disruptive concepts at the material, component, runtime, and authoring levels that represent significant advances beyond current practice for fielding robust, ultra-efficient systems.
