Unveiling the Power of Analog: A Deep Dive into DARPA’s Scalable Analog Neural Networks (ScAN) Program

In today’s digital age, neural networks (NNs) have revolutionized technology, driving advancements in fields from artificial intelligence to autonomous systems. However, the power consumption of these systems presents a significant challenge, particularly for sensor platforms constrained by size, weight, and power (SWaP). Enter DARPA’s Scalable Analog Neural-networks (ScAN) program, an initiative poised to transform the…
