This Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) provides $199,695 in federal funding to Boise State University for fundamental research on memory-centric processor design. The award period runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028. The primary deliverable is the architectural design and development of a hierarchical, heterogeneous near-memory computing fabric within Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) that addresses the "memory bottleneck" in modern computing systems, where over half of system energy is consumed moving data between processors and memory devices. The research aims to create a versatile, low-power, compact computing architecture capable of supporting artificial intelligence, cryptography, and other data-intensive edge computing applications with superior energy efficiency compared to existing memory-centric processor designs. Secondary deliverables include a publicly released simulation toolchain, software, and technical knowledge to benefit the broader scientific community, as well as sustained educational outreach and workforce development activities targeting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) enrollment and high-skilled engineer training within the Boise metropolitan area.HYDRA: Heterogeneous Near-Memory Processing Architecture
