This $256,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds the development of an arithmetic and math hardware accelerator capable of processing compressed floating-point data by Arith Inc. The accelerator aims to dramatically improve computation performance, storage effectiveness, and energy efficiency for computationally intensive applications by enabling arithmetic operations directly on compressed data, rather than requiring decompression first as with current computer systems. Specifically, the award supports Arith Inc. in developing the first-ever compressed floating-point unit that minimizes semiconductor and energy usage and reduces computation latency. The project is aligned with the NSF Directorate for Engineering's goal of fostering innovation in engineering research to improve quality of life and economic strength through support of projects developing novel engineering solutions.
