The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded the University of Louisiana at Lafayette $299,927 on August 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop memory-centric hardware architectures for energy-efficient artificial intelligence inference at the edge. The research addresses artificial intelligence deployment in resource-constrained devices including wearables, environmental sensors, infrastructure monitors, and embedded systems. The project develops encoding and accumulation methods that substitute distributed representations and comparison operations for energy-intensive multiply-and-accumulate arithmetic, reducing power consumption and data movement while improving reliability and security. The work encompasses three activities investigating how reliable AI inference can be performed using alternative numerical approaches suited to edge environments where devices must operate autonomously with limited power and compact form factors. The award supports research, graduate and undergraduate student training in hardware and AI design, and outreach activities introducing energy-efficient computing concepts to younger students. Research artifacts will be released to the broader research and education communities. Performance occurs in Lafayette, Louisiana. The period of performance runs through July 31, 2029. The assistance type is Project Grant.
