Description

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is seeking information on low resource computing (LRC) paradigms and processes applicable to microsystems. The goal is to identify untapped potential for LRC within DARPA's operational and technological base, particularly in environments with limited power, communication, or physical space. DARPA is interested in innovative insights that address the technical challenge areas described, including low power, low memory, low reliability, and low technological level. • The RFI seeks to determine how the principles of LRC can be leveraged to harness untapped potential in computing. • Respondents are welcome from all capable sources, including private or public companies, individuals, universities, and research institutions. • The submission should address at least one category from Section 1 (Physical Resources) and may optionally address a category from Section 2 (Logical Resources). • The technical response section is limited to 4 pages per Section 1 category, or 8 pages if a Section 1 and a Section 2 category are addressed together.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $5,000,000

Given that this is a Request for Information (RFI) rather than a direct solicitation for proposals, it's challenging to estimate the budget. However, considering the nature of DARPA's research initiatives and the potential for future funding based on the insights gathered from this RFI, a ballpark estimate could range from $500,000 to $5 million. This estimate is highly speculative and based on the assumption that any subsequent funding opportunities arising from this RFI could support research and development projects. Factors influencing the likely payment range include the scope of the projects, the number of participants, and the technological advancements achieved.
