DARPA is offering the Unconventional Processing of Signals for Intelligent Data Exploitation (UPSIDE) grant to revolutionize compute-intensive data analysis. This grant is for exploring novel approaches using unconventional computation and data representations, leveraging emerging new device technologies. The core purpose is to achieve significant improvements in power efficiency by computing high-level functions directly through the physics of these devices. By doing so, the program anticipates orders of magnitude gains in computational power efficiency. A primary application area targeted by this initiative is the advanced analysis of image sensor data. This innovative research aims to push the boundaries of current data processing capabilities for critical applications.
