This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Computing and Communication Foundations Project Grant award, under CFDA Program 47.070 "Computer and Information Science and Engineering", provides $225,000 in funding to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees) from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026. The grant supports research to maximize the benefits of computing redundancy, such as task replication, in distributed computing systems used for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications. Key deliverables include: (i) characterizing the effects of using redundancy in distributed computing, (ii) developing new mathematical models and analysis tools for coded computing systems with stragglers, (iii) designing redundancy management algorithms, and (iv) addressing critical issues in coded computing beyond replication approaches. The educational goals include stimulating student interest in applied probability, mathematical modeling, and cloud computing through hands-on labs and research experiences, with a focus on recruiting women and underrepresented groups.
