Crossbar Array-based Processing-in-Memory (CBA-PIM) technology can be integrated in 3D with domain-specific heterogeneous compute-engines to achieve unprecedented improvements in application performance and power consumption. This FuSe-Teaming Grant will establish a collaboration between researchers at UC Riverside (UCR), Arizona State University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and Washington State University. A pilot research project will define domain-specific CBA-PIM accelerators for streaming time series data analytics algorithms, integrate state-of-the-art techniques to achieve fault tolerance and reliability, and advance the state-of-the-art in monolithic 3D layout tools to ensure that the proposed devices can be physically realized. An Education and Workforce Development Plan will provide a comprehensive learning experience for graduate and undergraduate student trainees through which they will learn to design, layout, characterize, and program crossbar arrays, through which they will be exposed to a variety of open-source Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools and crossbar simulators. It will also provide trainees with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) competencies that will prepare them for employment working with future semiconductor technologies.Moore’s Law has characterized miniaturization in semiconductor microelectronic systems for decades. With the slowing and inevitable end of Moore’s Law on the horizon, advances in general-purpose computing technology can no longer sustain semiconductor industry growth. Subsequent advances are projected to occur through application-specific specialization that synergistically exploits future semiconductor technologies. By exposing trainees to these challenges and empowering them to explore potential solutions, the proposed activities will contribute to the development of the skilled technical workforce. The project leads plan to recruit trainees from underrepresented backgrounds to participate in the project; UCR is a Hispanic Serving Institution (OPEID-00131600). Research and education-related materials will be disseminated via a public-facing website dedicated to the project, and research outcomes will be integrated into a graduate course taught at UCR. This material will be also shared with the other project participants and with the general public.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

基于横杆阵列中的内存处理（CBA-PIM）技术可以与特定领域的异质计算引擎集成到3D中，以实现应用程序性能和功耗的前所未有的改进。这项融合团队的赠款将在加州大学河滨分校（UCR），亚利桑那州立大学，佐治亚州理工学院和华盛顿州立大学的研究人员之间建立合作。一个试点研究项目将定义特定领域的CBA-PIM加速器，用于流时间序列数据分析算法，集成的最新技术以实现故障耐受性和可靠性，并促进Monolithic 3D布局中最先进的工具，以确保所提出的设备可以在物理上实现。一项教育和劳动力发展计划将为研究生和本科生学员提供全面的学习经验，他们将学习设计，布局，特征和程序横梁阵列，通过该阵列，他们将接触到各种开放式电子设计自动化（EDA）工具和跨键模拟器。它还将为受训者提供多样性，公平和包容性（DEI）能力，这些能力将使他们为与未来的半导体技术的就业做好准备。随着摩尔定律的放缓和不可避免的结局，通用计算技术的进步无法再维持半导体行业的增长。随后的进步预计将通过特定于应用程序的专业化来协同探索未来的半导体技术。通过使学员面临这些挑战并授权他们探索潜在的解决方案，拟议的活动将有助于熟练的技术劳动力的发展。该项目领导计划，从代表性不足的背景中招募受训者参加该项目； UCR是西班牙裔服务机构（OPEID-00131600）。研究和与教育有关的材料将通过专门针对该项目的公共面向公共网站进行传播，研究成果将集成到UCR教授的研究生课程中。该材料还将与其他项目参与者共享，并与公众共享。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准通过评估来诚实地获得支持。
