- Description
- s virtual memory systems inhibit the performance of many applications by running them in a data-starved mode. That is, these applications are not constrained by the processing speed or memory, but rather the inability of the memory system to deliver the requested data in a timely manner. This research seeks to leverage and transition the revolutionary results from DoD sponsored investigations including DARPA's Embedded Computing, Adaptive Computing, Data Intensive Systems, Applied Computational Mathematics, and Low Power Computing Programs, the DoD High Performance Computer Modernization Program (HPCMP), and the BMDO Discriminating Interceptor Technology Program (DITP). By leveraging research from the aforementioned programs, newly developed memory architectures that manage the placement and flow of data, as well as manipulate data in the memory subsystem itself may provide the basis for information fusion architectures capable of real-time ID/Position estimation, situation assessment and threat assessment. Two areas of specific interest are (1) development of the hardware requirement tradespace identifying existing bottlenecks in fusion processing and the relevant new architectures that would affordably enable/enhance fusion capability, and (2) design and development of such architectures for DoD fielded systems. Technical solutions and/or approaches should emphasize the use of open systems that accommodate distributed, modular, and extensible approaches to address fusion processing deficiencies within current and planned Air Force systems. Deliverables will be technical reports, published papers, presentations at conferences, and when appropriate: feasibility models, prototypes, and/or demonstrations. Such applications may include, but are not limited to, Information Fusion, Multi-Dimensional Signal Processing and Knowledge Bases. Other than the intent to focus the application domain on Affordable Fusion and Exploitation Architectures, all other information as presented in the original 24 Apr 98 PRDA announcement remains valid. Submission of white papers for initial consideration is requested by 10 December 1999. All addresses, evaluation factors, etc. remain as originally published. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (12-NOV-1999). IT ACTUALLY FIRST APPEARED ON THE FEDBIZOPPS SYSTEM ON 15-MAY-2002. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
