EnCharge AI Partners with Princeton University on Groundbreaking AI Chip Technology Supported By U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, EnCharge AI, the company commercializing next-generation AI accelerators, announced a partnership with Princeton University, supported by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) towards developing advanced processors capable of running AI models more efficiently than previously thought possible.
- As part of OPTIMA, DARPA has awarded an $18.6 million grant to a multi-year project proposed by Princeton University and EnCharge AI.
- The rapid developments in AI have created skyrocketing processing requirements, currently addressed by massive server farms with high cost and power requirements.
- Key to this Princeton University-EnCharge AI project is Dr. Naveen Verma, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Princeton and co-founder and CEO of EnCharge AI.
- EnCharge AI CTO Dr. Kailash Gopalakrishnan noted that constraints posed by current AI processing technologies motivated EnCharge AI to participate in OPTIMA.
