The Defense Sciences Office at DARPA is offering the Accelerated Computation for Efficient Scientific Simulation (ACCESS) grant to fund research proposals aimed at accelerating scientific simulations of physical systems. The program seeks innovative computational architectures achieving petaflops performance in a benchtop form-factor, enabling ‘strong’ scaling for predictive scientific simulations. Emphasis is on non-traditional component technologies utilizing hybrid analog/digital techniques for prototype systems. Proposals should focus on transformative advancements rather than incremental improvements. Deadline for submission is June 28, 2016.

| Description: | The Defense Sciences Office at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting research proposals in technologies for the acceleration of scientific simulations of physical systems characterized by coupled partial differential equations (PDEs). The Accelerated Computation for Efficient Scientific Simulation (ACCESS) Program seeks innovative ideas for computational architectures that will achieve the equivalent of petaflops performance in a benchtop form-factor and be capable of what traditional architectures would define as “strong” scaling for predictive scientific simulations of interest. DARPA expects achieving these goals will require the parallel development of non-traditional component technologies exploiting novel hybrid analog/digital techniques, algorithms, instruction sets, controllers, and the integration and optimization of these components within prototype systems. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. |
