This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant award under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $275,000 to develop a novel brain-inspired processor-in-memory system powered by environmentally-sustainable carbohydrate-based memristors. The key objectives are to create an energy-efficient, renewable, and ecologically-friendly computing solution to address sustainability challenges in artificial intelligence (AI) systems and computing devices. The project will leverage innovative fabrication techniques to produce the carbohydrate memristors with reduced water use, chemical waste, greenhouse gas emissions, and manufacturing energy. The resulting processor-in-memory system aims to achieve performance improvements, high efficiency, longevity, and reliability for applications in mobile, wearable, cloud, and data center computing. The award was made to Washington State University, a public land-grant research institution, and will support the training of students and a postdoctoral scholar in engineering problem-solving and technology development related to this sustainable computing innovation.
