Advanced Graphic Intelligence Logical Computing Environment (AGILE)

Program Description and Goals

The Intelligence Advanced Research Project Activity (IARPA) will hold a virtual Proposers' Day meeting on Tuesday, December 22, 2020 from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm Eastern Time to introduce the AGILE program to potential proposers, provide information on its objectives, and collect feedback on the AGILE draft Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) technical section to be posted on https://beta.sam.gov/ prior to the Proposers' Day, in anticipation of publication of a program BAA. The AGILE program aims to develop revolutionizing computer architectures and associated integrated circuits designs for a new class of high-performance, high efficiency, scalable computers that meet the needs of large-scale data analytic problems.

IARPA holds Proposers' Days to provide information to assist potential performers to evaluate whether and how they might respond to the Government's research and development solicitations and to increase efficiency in proposal preparation and evaluation. The AGILE Proposers' Day is open only to registered potential proposers, and not to the media or the general public.

The meeting will be held entirely on the WebEx video conference platform, and a recorded video of the meeting will be made available to the public on the IARPA website at https://www.iarpa.gov/index.php/research-programs/agile.

This announcement serves as a notice of intent to fund scientific research and is issued solely for information and planning purposes. The Proposers' Day meeting does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals. Meeting attendance is voluntary and is not required to propose to this, or any other solicitations (if any) associated with the AGILE program. IARPA will not provide reimbursement for any costs incurred to participate in this Proposers' Day.
