I did a deep-dive into RTML on Twitter[0][1] just now after seeing this post, and I hope to bring some context and clarity to this project, which is done in conjunction with the National Science Foundation (NSF). @DARPA Twitter thread [2019] on RTML https://twitter.com/darpa/status/1108760215611236353 https://twitter.com/darpa/status/1108760215611236353 Report in OP’s linked PDF authored by Andreas Olofsson https://d60.darpa.mil/speakers/MrAndreasOlofsson.html https://d60.darpa.mil/speakers/MrAndreasOlofsson.html DARPA RTML program overseen by Serge Leef https://www.darpa.mil/staff/mr-serge-leef https://www.darpa.mil/staff/mr-serge-leef Electronics Resurgence Initiative (ERI) Summit 2019 talk on RTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQfddARnNB0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQfddARnNB0 ERI Summit site https://eri-summit.darpa.mil/ https://eri-summit.darpa.mil/ ERI @ DARPA https://www.darpa.mil/work-with-us/electronics-resurgence-initiative https://www.darpa.mil/work-with-us/electronics-resurgence-in...
