Beyond Scaling - Design
Abstract
The Beyond Scaling - Design program is developing and demonstrating the tools required for rapidly designing and deploying specialized circuits. As Moore's Law slows and the nation loses the benefit of free, exponential improvements in electronics cost, speed, and power derived from silicon scaling, the DoD will need to maximize the benefits of available silicon technologies by using design tools that enable circuit specialization. Research efforts are exploring technologies and techniques such as intelligent design tools, automated physical layout generation, and open-source circuit designs. The goal of this program is to reduce the barrier to entry for complex system-on-chip (SoC) designs and to provide a secure pathway for the rapid upgrade of electronics. Advances under this program will demonstrate a new DoD capability to create specialized hardware and provide electronics improvements that do not depend on continued, rapid silicon scaling. Rapid design and deployment techniques developed will also consider the need to incorporate security into DoD hardware. Basic research for this program is funded within PE 0601101E, Project ES-02.
