IARPA and U.S. Army Launch Research to Engineer Next Generation of Computers – HS Today – HSToday
The AGILE program looks to advance the predictive analysis of massive data from diverse sources and methods in a timely manner.
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) — the research and development arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence — and the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Army Research Laboratory announced the launch of a program to engineer innovative, new computer architecture designs that will help the Intelligence Community (IC) execute its increasingly critical data analysis missions.
The Advanced Graphic Intelligence Logical Computing Environment (AGILE) program looks to:
“The start of this research means that we are now on the path to design computers that can process exponentially increasing amounts and sources of data,” said program manager Dr. William Harrod. “Using outside-the-box thinking, we aim to design computer architectures to address today’s data-intensive problems while generating important analytical insights in a timely way.”
Through a competitive Broad Agency Announcement, IARPA has awarded AGILE research contracts to the following teams:
The AGILE test and evaluation team consists of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, all of which have extensive experience in evaluating design and performance of computer architectures.
