Not a merge proposal

While this is not a merge proposal, it would be good to delineate what this page covers over and above the Mead & Conway revolution and vice versa. — MaxEnt 01:26, 18 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Useful passage

Latest comment: 4 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

DARPA's plan for its VLSI program was to foster revolutionary advances by supporting university research and building bridges between research communities. To promote information sharing, DARPA maintained open, nonrestrictive policies on the publication of results, supported research with only indirect connections to military or defense applications, and refrained from classifying results. These principles stood in direct contrast to DOD's other main semiconductor initiative of the time, the Very High Speed Integrated Circuit (VHSIC) program, which tried to advance industrial practices in a more incremental fashion, required direct defense relevance, and had a number of restrictions in place on publication of results.

I don't feel like working this material into the article myself right now, I've done my bit here and I'm moving along. — MaxEnt 02:42, 18 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Note also the amazing chart of illustrious principal investigators on page 118. — MaxEnt 02:44, 18 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
