This collaborative research project, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), received $1,341,906 in funding with an award date of April 1, 2025, and a completion date of September 30, 2027. The project, titled "REFRESH: Revisiting Expanding FPGA Real-Estate for Environmentally Sustainability Heterogeneous-Systems," is a Type II collaborative initiative led by Brown University in partnership with the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Notre Dame. The primary deliverable is the development of sustainable computing technology that recycles decommissioned Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chips through 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) integration with interposer-based interconnection to construct REFRESH FPGA devices capable of near state-of-the-art performance. The project addresses environmental sustainability across computing system lifecycles by reducing carbon emissions from semiconductor manufacturing and mitigating electronic waste (e-waste) risks. Key research outputs include innovations in chip recycling methodologies, integration techniques for extended chip lifespans, and performance optimization of integrated systems. The initiative incorporates educational and outreach components targeting K-12 students in environmental science, biology, and artificial intelligence, thereby generating both technical innovations and broader societal impact through workforce development and environmental stewardship initiatives.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
