Architecture Aware Compiler Environment (AACE) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Architecture Aware Compiler Environment (AACE) opportunity is a DARPA Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) issued by the Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO) to support science and technology research and development. It is listed on Grants.gov as a discretionary funding opportunity using the grant instrument type, and it falls under CFDA 12.910 (Research and Technology Development). In practical terms, this is a competitive R&D grant solicitation tied to DARPA's interest in advancing computing-related capabilities, specifically in the area suggested by the title: compiler environments that are "architecture aware," meaning software compilation and optimization approaches that explicitly account for underlying hardware architecture characteristics.

The posting itself is essentially an administrative republication rather than a brand-new solicitation. DARPA notes that the BAA is being reposted to Grants.gov due to the Grants.gov platform transition from PureEdge forms to Adobe forms. The key point is that the content, requirements, and instructions of the original BAA have not changed; applicants are simply required to submit using the updated Grants.gov package associated with this reposting. DARPA explicitly states that nothing in the new posting modifies the original announcement, and that the original announcement and any amendments remain available under the original opportunity number, BAA 08-30 (referenced via a FedBizOpps link in the listing).

From an applicant standpoint, the opportunity is open and broadly accessible. Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject only to any additional eligibility clarifications that might be included in the full text of the announcement. The listing also indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so proposers are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award (again, assuming no special conditions appear in the full BAA text).

The timeline information indicates the opportunity was posted and created on January 21, 2009, with an original and current closing date of April 17, 2009, and an archive date of May 17, 2009. The notice also references an "initial response date" of July 11, 2008, which aligns with the fact that the substantive solicitation existed earlier under the original BAA number and is now being reposted primarily for submission-system compliance rather than programmatic reasons.

For those trying to access the full announcement materials, DARPA points applicants to the original BAA 08-30 announcement hosted through FedBizOpps (as indicated by the additional information link). The designated point of contact for access issues is William Harrod, listed as the BAA contact, specifically for situations where an applicant has difficulty retrieving the full announcement electronically.
