The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,400,001 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, also known as the Office of Sponsored Programs. This 5-year collaborative research project, titled "RESEARCH INTO THE USE AND INTEGRATION OF DATA MOVEMENT ACCELERATORS (RUN-DMX)", aims to optimize communication overheads for high-performance computing (HPC) applications by supporting "computation-in-communication" techniques. The key technical goals are to: 1) develop new algorithms to leverage computation-in-communication, 2) incorporate compression techniques to enhance data transfer efficiency, and 3) design novel hardware enhancements to optimize computation-in-communication. This work seeks to create a full-stack solution that minimizes communication overheads and data movement, thereby enhancing the scalability of computing for high-performance applications like molecular dynamics and computational fluid dynamics. The project will also produce open-source software infrastructure to facilitate education in parallel computing, HPC, and computer architecture.
