The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $599,687 Project Grant to the University of Notre Dame DU Lac in Notre Dame, Indiana under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program. The project, titled "SMALL: ACCELERATING DATA INTENSIVE SCIENTIFIC WORKFLOWS WITH CONSISTENCY CONTRACTS", will evaluate the use of "consistency contracts" to optimize the performance of complex scientific workflows running on high-performance computing clusters. The goal is to improve I/O bandwidth and transaction rates compared to current approaches that rely on the most conservative file system consistency guarantees. The project will develop an experimental system called PLEDGE to implement and test the consistency contract approach on existing data-intensive scientific applications. No subawards are planned under this grant, which has a period of performance from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026.
