This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program grant to Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC), awarded on October 1, 2023 for $223,095, will advance research and development on architecting data centers for optimized tail latency at scale. The key objectives are to: (1) integrate service-level objective (SLO) awareness into data center system design from the cluster to microarchitecture level to enable dynamic request prioritization; and (2) develop techniques for reduced data movement within and across data center servers to improve computation efficiency. This research aims to enable next-generation data centers to reliably deliver high-quality, low-latency responses for modern cloud computing services. The project will also develop simulation methodologies and tools to evaluate data center-scale techniques, and incorporate relevant educational activities. No subawards are planned under this 5-year grant.
