DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of Army 

Notice of Intent To Seek Partners for a 

Cooperative Research and 

Development Agreement and 

Licensing Opportunity for Operating 

System (OS) Friendly Microprocessor 

Architecture Invented and Patent 

Pending by U.S. Army Aviation and 

Missile Command 

AGENCY: Department of Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of intent seeking 

partners. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Aviation and 

Missile Command (AMRDEC) is seeking 

Cooperative Research and Development 

Agreement (CRADA) partners to 

collaborate in transitioning OS Friendly 

Microprocessor Architecture (OSFA) 

into commercial and/or government 

application(s). OSFA references 

approved for public release are provided 

[1–2]. Interested potential CRADA 

collaborators will receive detailed 

information on the current status of the 

project after signing a confidentiality 

disclosure agreement (CDA) with 

AMRDEC. Guidelines for the 

preparation of a full CRADA proposal 

will be communicated shortly thereafter 

to all respondents with whom initial 

confidential discussions will have 

established sufficient mutual interest. 

CRADA applications submitted after the 

due date may be considered if a suitable 

CRADA collaborator has not been 

identified by AMRDEC among the initial 

pool of respondents. Licensing of 

background technology related to this 

CRADA opportunity is also available to 

potential collaborators. 

DATES: Interested candidate partners 

must submit a statement of interest and 

capability to the AMRDEC point of 

contact before April 10, 2015 for 

consideration. 

ADDRESSES: Comments and questions 

may be submitted to: Department of 

Army, US Army Research, Development 

and Engineering Command, Aviation 

and Missile Research, Development, and 

Engineering Center, ATTN: RDMR–CST, 

Office of Research and Technology 

Applications (Ms. Wallace), 5400 

Fowler Road, Redstone Arsenal, AL 

35898. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions about the proposed action 

can be directed to Ms. Cindy Wallace 

(256) 313–0895, Office of Research and 

Technology Applications, email: 

cindy.s.wallace.civ@mail.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Project Description: AMRDEC seeks 

to ensure that technologies developed 

by AMRDEC are expeditiously 

commercialized and brought to practical 

use. The purpose of a CRADA is to find 

partner(s) to facilitate the development 

and commercialization of a technology 

that is in an early phase of development. 

Respondents interested in submitting a 

CRADA proposal should be aware that 

it may be necessary for them to secure 

a patent license to the above-mentioned 

patent pending technology in order to 

be able to commercialize products 

arising from a CRADA. CRADA partners 

are afforded an option to negotiate an 

exclusive license from the AMRDEC for 

inventions arising from the performance 

of the CRADA research plan. 

2. Technology Overview: 

Conventional microprocessors have not 

tried to balance hardware performance 

and OS performance at the same time. 

The goal of the OS Friendly 

Architecture (OSFA) is to provide a high 

performance microprocessor and OS 

system. The architecture’s cache 

memory banks provide for near 

instantaneous context switching and 

hardware based information assurance. 

The OS Friendly Microprocessor 

Architecture includes hardware 

permission bits for each cache bank and 

each memory address. 

The OS Friendly Architecture is a 

switched set of cache memory banks in 

a pipeline configuration. For lightweight threads, the memory pipeline 

configuration provides near 

instantaneous context switching times. 

The pipelining and parallelism 

provided by the memory pipeline 

configuration provides for background 

cache read and write operations while 

the microprocessor’s execution pipeline 

is running instructions. The cache bank 

selection controllers provide arbitration 

to prevent the memory pipeline and 

microprocessor’s execution pipeline 

from accessing the same cache bank at 

the same time. This separation allows
