Federal Grant Award Summary George Washington University received a $584,353 Project Grant award dated January 15, 2026, from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computing and Communication Foundations under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070). This award funds the ASTROCOMP project, which focuses on developing advanced stochastic magnetic tunnel junction (SMTJ) architectures for scalable neuromorphic computing applications. The primary deliverable is the fabrication and integration of stochastic magnetic tunnel junctions with commercially developed silicon wafers to create hardware capable of generating random numbers from specific probability distributions—including uniform, Gaussian, and exponential distributions—at ultra-fast speeds with high computational efficiency. This hardware innovation addresses critical bottlenecks in artificial intelligence applications, particularly for generative and diffusion models that require trillions of truly random numbers in fractions of a second. The project encompasses three primary objectives, with the initial focus on iteratively optimizing the stochastic magnetic tunnel junction fabrication process on commercially planarized wafers to achieve high yield and reliable switching performance. The award extends through December 31, 2028, and includes deliverables related to hardware prototyping platforms suitable for future application-relevant translation. The project incorporates educational components involving graduate and undergraduate students, generating research outputs and technical infrastructure that advance neuromorphic computing capabilities for the broader artificial intelligence computing ecosystem.
