Description
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Multi X Office (MXO) is requesting information on low resource computing (LRC) paradigms and processes that can be applied to microsystems. DARPA is interested in identifying untapped potential for LRC within its operational and technological base, particularly for environments with limited power, communication, or physical space. The agency is seeking disruptive concepts at the material, component, runtime, and authoring levels that represent significant advances in fielding robust, ultra-efficient systems. Key areas of interest include approaches for low power consumption, minimal memory usage, computation on unreliable hardware, and utilization of low-technology manufacturing or primitive ecosystems. DARPA is also interested in logical resource concepts such as low-trust environments, low-privilege operations, self-hosting capabilities, and simplified user experiences. Responses should focus on advancing the field beyond incremental improvements and should not rely on high-bandwidth connectivity, continuous access to commercial power grids, or pristine environments. DARPA plans to hold an invitation-only workshop in August 2026 to discuss submissions and potential future research areas.
