CREST is launching the Arch-Edge 2026 Scheme with an aim to foster innovation andtranslational research in semiconductor device design, fabrication, and testing. Thespecific objectives of this program are as follows:
•Develop architectures supporting edge computing especially for AI/ML workloads
•Prototype the proposed solution on hardware platforms including but not limited toFPGAs
•Promote reusable hardware IPs and open architecture frameworks
•Tape out a test chip and validate the functionality
•Foster interdisciplinary collaboration and student/PhD training
•Bridge academic research to industry-deployable prototypes and future ASIC tape-outs
