Welcome to the 
Systems Level Intelligent Intensive Computing
 
(SLIIC) project web site. 


        

Program Overview

The goals of the SLIIC project are to:

Improve performance/density of data-intensive radar processing by a factor of at least 100;
Demonstrate DIS PIM technology in the Navy Aegis testbed; and
Enable signal processing superiority.

The SLIIC project is a team effort between USC/ISI and Lockheed Martin  GES and is funded by the Data Intensive Systems program of the DARPA Information Technology Office

SLIIC is divided into 4 major tasks according to the schedule below:  

Problem Definition and 
Architecture Requirements Specification

Identify application problem of fixed parameters
Specify data sets or type of data
Specify evaluation metrics
Specify processing performance required
Specify final success criteria

Quick Look

Evaluate COTS PIM technology
Select and perform one or more application demonstration
Draw conclusions on potential impact of advanced DIS technology
Provide early feedback on DIS component architectures

Go to the Architecture page to see more detail about the Quick Look board.

Detailed Study

Specify architecture trade-offs and component technologies
Develop performance models
Develop chip-level simulations
Evaluate DIS component technologies
Develop hardware emulations using Quick-Look hardware

Pathfinder Demonstration

Evaluate DIS component suitability for hardware demonstrations (including performance and availability, candidates include DIVA and IRAM)
Develop and deliver high-performance PIM-level demonstration
Develop and deliver system-level demonstration (full performance, reduced scale)
Clarify problem definition and scope of effort required to achieve full-scale demonstration
