I know MU and the state of Virgina were interested and invested in a fab that would be involved in the Automata project. I have not been able to find any news later than 2018. Any current information would be appreciated and if it is still ongoing or shut down. If ongoing any information on what it's producing would be appreciated. Any thoughts or observations on whether automata research is on hold, in the background or dead would also be appreciated and who is doing what.
When you visit the micron.com site and search for Automata, nothing is found:
From a 2018 article on EE Times:
“Micron’s Manassas site manufactures our long-lifecycle products that are built using our mature process technologies, and primarily sold into the automotive, networking and industrial markets,” said Micron President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, in a press statement.
Using Google...the William & Mary article seems to be the last mention of Automata. The latest article specifically about it looks like it was written in 2019 by insideBIGDATA
