This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program totaling $1,540,483 will support the development of a Virtual Data Collaboratory. The Collaboratory will create a federated data system accessible across institutional and geographic boundaries to foster interdisciplinary research collaboration. Seven universities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania will directly participate in constructing storage and data services infrastructure...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $489,239 Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program grant to The Pennsylvania State University, doing business as Penn State, to develop cost-effective, high-throughput data storage solutions to support scientific research across disciplines including physics, astronomy, biology, and materials science. The 2-year project, titled "CC* DATA STORAGE: COST-EFFECTIVE ATTACHED STORAGE FOR HIGH THROUGHPUT COMPUTING USING...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure, under the NSF Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program, aims to develop a new data representation and storage system called LABIOS to address the challenges of storing and accessing massive and complex data sets in data-intensive computing. The $599,999 award to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) will fund research to design and implement LABIOS, a...

Kennesaw State University Research And Service Foundation, Inc. received a $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure dated September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024. The award will support the development of a high-capacity 4.3PB data storage infrastructure as an Open Science Data Federation data origin to enable scientific research and education activities at Kennesaw State University. Thirty percent of storage will be allocated for...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computer and Network Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), provides $246,388 to the University of Washington to develop cross-layer file systems that span multiple storage technologies including non-volatile memories, solid-state disks, and traditional disk storage. The university researchers will build file storage systems able to reliably store user data at high...

This $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) will fund the establishment of an open-source ecosystem for the Interdisciplinary Networked Community Resilience Modeling Environment (IN-CORE) model. IN-CORE is an open-source modeling environment that can comprehensively model a community's physical, social, and economic systems and their complex interdependencies. This Phase I award will support initial focus group...

This Project Grant award of $599,795 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure was made to The Leland Stanford Junior University (doing business as Stanford University) to build an open-source network measurement platform. The platform is designed to enable researchers and network operators to ask complex, real-world questions about high-speed internet networks, whose performance and traffic characteristics have fundamentally changed over the past...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) totaling $580,736 will support research into improving the performance of distributed storage systems without requiring changes to their codebase. The key objectives are to understand the impact of request ordering on the performance of concurrency control and replication, which are critical components of distributed storage systems, and develop novel...
