The National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University a CAREER grant totaling $414,320 on June 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) to develop error-resilient algorithmic solutions for emerging hardware technologies. The project will deliver software tools and mathematical foundations enabling artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to tolerate hardware-induced data corruption without requiring costly error-correction mechanisms. Key deliverables include: (1) a programming language for expressing and analyzing exchangeable programs to characterize which AI and optimization algorithms possess error-resilience properties, and (2) a compiler that automatically optimizes such programs for performance and error resilience. These tools will enable emerging memory and transistor technologies with higher data corruption rates to become viable for real-world AI workloads while maintaining computational efficiency. The five-year project (through May 31, 2031) addresses a critical gap in AI computing system design by establishing exchangeability—a statistical symmetry property found in hyperdimensional computing—as a principled foundation for error-resilient algorithm design across machine learning inference and optimization workloads. Beyond research outputs, the initiative includes an educational component designed to train the next generation of computer science and electrical engineering students in hardware-software collaboration, preparing workforce talent for the emerging field of next-generation AI computing systems.Federal Grant Award Summary
