Project Neuromata will explore brain-inspired hardware for AGI, targeting the critical bottlenecks of recursive reasoning, probabilistic inference, attention mechanisms, and large-scale knowledge retrieval. We will survey and benchmark four non-von Neumann paradigms - temporal (race logic), asynchronous neuromorphic, analog in-memory computing, and processing-in-memory. Using Python simulations, FPGA prototypes, and remote neuromorphic boards over defined metrics such as latency, energy per operation, accuracy, scalability. Integrated with OpenCog Hyperon, Neuromata aims to demonstrate a proof-of-concept accelerator achieving 10x-50x speedups and 10x–100x energy savings on AGI workloads.
The purpose of this RFP is to identify, assess, and experiment with novel computing paradigms that could enhance AGI system performance and efficiency. By focusing on alternative architectures, this research aims to overcome computational bottlenecks in recursive reasoning, probabilistic inference, attention allocation, and large-scale knowledge representation. Bids are expected to range from $40,000 - $80,000.
