Unconventional Processing of Signals for Intelligent Data Exploitation (UPSIDE)

The UPSIDE program proposes an approach to compute-intensive data analysis using unconventional computation and data representations mapped to emerging new device technologies. By computing high level functions directly using the physics of the devices, we can expect orders of magnitude improvements in the power efficiency of these computations. Target applications include image sensor data analysis. See the full DARPA-BAA-12-53 document attached.
