NanoWatt Platforms for Sensing, Analysis, and Computation (NaPSAC)

Abstract

Efficient, high-speed scientific computing architectures are a ubiquitous requirement for applications including modeling of complex physical systems, advanced device designs, and multiscale computations of dynamical phenomena such as climate models or turbulence. Current state-of-the-art computing systems requires prohibitive amounts of energy and time to perform such calculations. The NanoWatt Platforms for Sensing, Analysis, and Computation (NaPSAC) program aims to develop a novel computational architecture for massively parallel, ultralow power "in-memory" computation. NaPSAC-based computing architectures can potentially yield transformative impact by enabling beyond-state-of-the-art computational speed and accuracy. Applications of immediate relevance to the DoD include simulations of turbulent flows, multiscale electromagnetic simulations of plasma dynamics, advanced semiconductor device design, and the modeling of high-performance materials.
