The ADA Center set out in 2018 to reignite innovation in computing and to enable the design of computing systems for the 2030 decade. It planned to do so by developing novel hardware architecture solutions, embracing emerging devices at the system's scale, and crafting new design flows that are accessible to a much larger engineering population than today. This work provides a retrospective of ADA's accomplishments, and lessons learned along the way. It also provides a discussion of future research directions informed by the ADA Center's learning.
