The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $375,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems. The grant supports the project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: FMITF: TRACK I: SYNTHETIC COMPILATION FOR EMBEDDED SYSTEMS" from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2025.
The grant is part of the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), which aims to advance computing and information sciences through investigator-initiated research and education. Specifically, this award will fund research into synthetic compilation techniques for embedded systems to improve performance, energy efficiency, and security. The University of Texas at Austin will deliver the proposed research as the main awardee over the four-year grant period.
