Saffron Technology, Inc., www.saffrontech.com, is the leader in the application of associative memory technology in cognitive computing applications. This work will identify and solve the computational architecture issues associated with creation of a hardware associative computing element and its integration into emerging cognitive computing architectures. This phase one effort will lead to a demonstration of critical design features and functionality in a FPGA test bed. Subsequent phases will lead to the development of a hardware component (a memory appliance) that can be marketed commercially as part of our current product offerings
