Fall Symposium 2021
November 10-12
Please join us in Ann Arbor, MI for the ADA Fall 2021 Symposium. The symposium will be an in-person event with the option to join remotely. Attendance in person is strongly encouraged, as the symposium will focus on seeding research expansions that align with sponsors needs, and collective brainstorming of computing challenges that our community must address in future years.
Task Liaison Meetings
Calling All Task Liaisons
ADA Center students are presenting their research at online task liaison meetings each Wednesday. Task liaisons and other interested sponsors are invited to join. Registration is not necessary, but please visit our complete liaison meeting schedule for info on how to attend each meeting.

$1 Million Grant From NSF Bolsters ILLIXR as Community Infrastructure for Extended Reality Research
ILLIXR is first-of-its kind open source testbed and consortium for the broad Extended Reality (XR) community, which encompasses virtual (VR), augmented (AR) and mixed reality (MR). The necessity for ILLIXR exists because of the lack of an “open-source full system benchmark and testbed to drive and evaluate innovation,” according to Sarita Adve, ADA Center PI.
ILLIXR steps into this void, but it took purposeful initiative to find the right funding opportunity for the next step. That funding came through, in the form of a $1 million community research infrastructure grant from the National Science Foundation’s Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) for a period of 36 months.

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.
