Summary
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Multi X Office (MXO) issued this Request for Information (DARPA-SN-26-97) seeking information about low resource computing (LRC) paradigms and processes applicable to — but not yet utilized in — microsystems. The RFI seeks disruptive concepts at the material, component, runtime, and authoring levels that enable robust, ultra-efficient systems operating in environments with limited power, communication, or physical space. Respondents must provide a technical response including discussions on capabilities and challenges, theoretical/simulation work, development strategies, current data, risk assessments, and a summary slide capturing the main idea and development strategy.
