This $250,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program supports research to develop domain-specific 3D ReRAM-based Processing-in-Memory (PIM) accelerators for streaming time series applications. The collaboration between researchers at UC Riverside, Arizona State University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Washington State University aims to define CBA-PIM accelerators for time series data analytics, integrate fault tolerance techniques, and advance 3D layout tools. The project also includes an education and workforce development plan to provide graduate and undergraduate trainees hands-on experience designing, characterizing, and programming crossbar arrays, while also developing diversity, equity, and inclusion competencies. Research outcomes and educational materials will be disseminated publicly.

The sub-awards to Arizona State University, Georgia Tech Research Corporation, and Washington State University focus on further developing the CBA-PIM technology, integrating it into domain-specific accelerators, and advancing the state-of-the-art in 3D layout design and reliability. This work will help address the challenges posed by the slowdown of Moore's Law by specializing computing technologies for specific application domains.
