ILLIXR Highlighted as JUMP Research Success Story at an ISCA’21 Panel
At an ISCA’21 panel, "Is there research funding beyond machine learning and quantum?" Panelist Tim Green (Director of Innovative Research at SRC) highlighted the ILLIXR project in answer to the question “How do SRC and DARPA move the needle on a problem as complex as hardware-software co-design?” He described the timeline of the development of ILLIXR as a success story from the SRC/DARPA sponsored C-FAR/JUMP programs with phrases such as “high risk/high reward,” and “the impossible made possible,” When the ILLIXR team started nearly 5 years ago, many thought that such an open source system would be impossible.

About
As the computing industry struggles to maintain its historically rapid pace of innovation, the ADA Center, based at the University of Michigan, aims to streamline and democratize the design and manufacturing of next-generation computing systems.
The Center for Applications Driving Architectures, or ADA, is developing a transformative, "plug-and-play" ecosystem to encourage a flood of fresh ideas in computing frontiers such as autonomous control, robotics and machine-learning.
Today, analysts worry that the industry is stagnating, caught between physical limits to the size of silicon transistors and the skyrocketing costs and complexity of system design.
"The electronic industry is facing many challenges going forward, and we stand a much better chance of solving these problems if we can make hardware design more accessible to a large pool of talent," said Valeria Bertacco, an Arthur F. Thurnau professor of computer science and engineering at U-M and director of the ADA Center. "We want to make it possible for anyone with motivation and a good idea to build novel high-performance computing systems."
The center is a five-year project that includes researchers from several leading universities.
