DARPA’s CHIPS program is designed to revolutionize microelectronics by enabling the mix-and-match integration of diverse functional chiplets—such as processors, memory, and I/O—into a single, modular system. The goal is to break away from traditional monolithic chip design, allowing greater flexibility, faster innovation, and cost-effective upgrades. By standardizing interfaces and promoting reuse of proven IP blocks, CHIPS aims to create scalable, high-performance systems for both defense and commercial applications, while supporting secure and rapid deployment of new technologies.
