The ASPIRE project at UC Berkeley has received a $15.6M award over 5.5 years as part of the DARPA PERFECT program. The ASPIRE project will be investigating how to provide the utmost energy efficiency for future DoD high-performance embedded applications, with an integrated effort spanning applications, algorithms, programming systems, architectures, and resilient circuits.  The program has an ambitious goal of achieving over 75GLOPS/W for double-precision computations in an entire system, or approximately 50x greater energy efficiency than the best of today’s embedded systems.
