This project brings together a diverse community of experts from academia and industry to explore technologies for designing the edge computers of the future. These computers will be capable of untethered operation for weeks or months while providing advanced features such as artificial intelligence, seamless interfacing with humans, multiple sensing modalities, high-speed communication with the cloud, and robust security. Realizing this vision calls for breakthroughs in energy efficiency, security and privacy technologies, and the integration of computing, communication, and sensing. Current design practices are unlikely to yield these breakthroughs, as their siloed paradigm that coerces materials scientists, device engineers, computer architects, and algorithm designers to work in relative isolation from each other and across rigid interfaces has reached its limits. The research team will leverage its wide-ranging expertise to explore the co-design of novel materials, devices, architectures, and algorithms, relying on fluid interfaces and cross-level simulators to uncover potentially orders of magnitude in energy efficiency improvements that enable next-generation application, security, sensing, and communication features for edge computers. It will also explore workforce development programs at the master’s level that yield industry-bound graduates with co-design expertise.The research team will come together around a series of quarterly workshops on energy-efficient devices and architectures, security technologies for privacy protection, hardware-software co-design for adaptive operation, and distributed processing for high-bandwidth communication and sensing. In collaboration with application-domain experts from industry, these four themes will be explored in the context of two specific use-inspired cases that occupy different parts of the edge-computer design spectrum: distributed wearables and deeply embedded implants for health, and distributed autonomous agents (e.g., vehicles, drones). In addition to exposing the potential for significant synergies across the design abstraction layers, the workshops and ensuing interactions are expected to yield a curated data and software framework that consists of existing data sets, interfaces, tools, and simulators and includes examples of design activity that exercises the framework within each abstraction layer as well as across abstraction layers.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.

该项目汇集了来自学术界和行业的专家的潜水员社区，以探索设计未来边缘计算机的技术。这些计算机将能够在数周或几个月内进行不受束缚的操作，同时提供高级功能，例如人工智能，与人类无缝接口，多种灵敏度方式，与云的高速通信以及强大的安全性。意识到这种愿景需要在能源效率，安全和隐私技术方面取得突破，以及计算，通信和敏感性的整合。当前的设计实践不太可能产生这些突破，因为它们的孤立范式迫使材料科学家，设备工程师，计算机建筑师和算法设计师彼此相对隔离，并且在刚性界面之间相对隔离已达到限制。研究团队将利用其广泛的专业知识来探索新颖的材料，设备，建筑和算法的共同设计，依靠流体界面和跨层次模拟器来揭示能源效率加速的潜在数量级，从而启用下一代应用，安全性，敏感性，敏感性，敏感性以及用于Edge Computers的交流功能。它还将探索硕士水平的劳动力开发计划，该计划以共同设计专业知识产生行业界的毕业生。研究团队将围绕一系列有关节能式倡导和建筑的季度研讨会，隐私保护的安全技术，硬件软件co-Demaptware Co-Design，用于ADAPTIVE操作以及分布式处理以及高型式沟通和Sensistitth和Sensistity的分配过程。与行业的应用域专家合作，将在两个特定的使用启发的情况下探索这四个主题，这些案例占据了边缘计算机设计频谱的不同部分：分布式可穿戴设备和健康的植入物，用于健康和分布式自主剂（例如，车辆，无人驾驶飞机）。除了揭露整个设计抽象层之间重要协同作用的潜力外，研讨会和相互作用预计将产生由现有数据集，互动，工具和模拟器组成的精选数据和软件框架，并包括设计活动的示例，这些示例包括在每个抽象范围内行使每个框架的框架，以及跨越的范围。基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
