The Rutgers Computer Science Department is pleased to announce that Associate Professor Sudarsun Kannan (Lead PI) has been awarded an NSF CORE Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC) small grant. This is a joint award with the University of Utah.
This grant funds a unified cross-layer framework to eliminate data-movement bottlenecks in high-performance exascale applications, which include molecular dynamics, graph neural networks, and large-scale scientific simulations. The technique integrates an intelligent monitoring and learning system that profiles transfer patterns and predicts contention, a heterogeneity-aware scheduler that dynamically balances bandwidth across processors, memory tiers, storage devices, and network interconnects, and a collaborative caching and prefetching architecture that anticipates future data needs to stage and reuse data proactively.
The award spans three years ($300K for Rutgers).
