1 Electronics Resurgence Initiative Presentation at the Design Automation Conference 6/21/17

2 What is DARPA?

3 The purpose of this directive is to provide within the Department of Defense an agency for the direction and performance of certain advanced research and development projects. -- DoD Directive February 7, 1958 Nytimes.com Gettyimages.com

4 How do we operate? Academia Defense Industry Commercial Sector Program managers from the community on a temporary 3 to 5 year assignment Programs executing ~$3 billion in the hands of ~90 PM s through ~250 programs Commercial Impact National Defense Needs to eliminate technical surprise.

12 But, we still have a long way to go A revolution in sensing and processing is required

13 The miracle of Moore s Law has taken us incredibly far Electronics, April 19, 1965: Cramming More Components onto Integrated Circuits; Gordon Moore P.1 P.2 Fig.1 Everyone focuses on page 2 The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year (see graph)

14 But nothing lasts forever VIII. DAY OF RECKONING Electronics, April 19, 1965: Cramming More Components onto Integrated Circuits; Gordon Moore P.3 Clearly, we will be able to build such componentcrammed equipment. Next, we ask under what circumstances we should do it. The total cost of making a particular system function must be minimized. To do so, we could amortize the engineering over several identical items, or evolve flexible techniques for the engineering of large functions so that no disproportionate expense need be borne by a particular array. Perhaps newly devised design automation procedures could translate from logic diagram to technological realization without any special engineering. It may prove to be more economical to build large systems out of smaller functions, which are separately packaged and interconnected. The availability of large functions, combined with functional design and construction, should allow the manufacturer of large systems to design and construct a considerable variety of equipment both rapidly and economically. Architecture Maximizing specialized functions Design Quickly enabling specialization Materials & Integration Adding separately packaged novel materials and using integration to provide specialized computing
