The US Military Wants New AI Chips

Uploaded on 2024-03-20 in TECHNOLOGY-Key Areas-Artificial Intelligence, GOVERNMENT-Defence, FREE TO VIEW

The US Defense Department’s largest research organisation DARPA, at the Pentagon, has partnered with a Princeton University’s effort to develop advanced micro-chips for Artificial Intelligence (AI).
 
The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded a grant of $18.6 million for a multi-year project proposed by Princeton University and EnCharge AI.

This is a project for AI to developing advanced processors, which would be capable of running AI models more efficiently than previously thought possible.

The new hardware reimagines AI chips for modern workloads and can run powerful AI systems using much less energy than today’s most advanced semiconductors, according to Verma, professor of electrical and computer engineering.

EnCharge AI is a California company founded in 2022 by Princeton computer science Professor Naveen Verma. Verma, who will lead the project, said the advances break through key barriers that have stymied chips for AI, including size, efficiency and scalability.

DARPA'S Optimum Processing Technology Inside Memory Arrays (OPTIMA) program is a $78 million effort to develop fast, power-efficient, and scalable compute-in-memory accelerators that can unlock new possibilities for commercial and defense-relevant AI workloads not achievable with current technology. 

As part of OPTIMA, DARPA has awarded an $18.6 million grant to the multi-year project at Princeton University and EnCharge AI.

The rapid developments in AI have created skyrocketing processing requirements, currently addressed by massive server farms with high cost and power requirements. Broadening the adoption of AI from the cloud to real-time, mission-critical applications at the edge will require moving beyond existing processing technologies.
