This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program award provides $599,386 to Northeastern University to conduct research on communication-aware algorithms for dynamic allocation of heterogeneous computing resources in distributed infrastructure systems. The key products delivered under this 3-year project grant include:
Innovative solutions for scheduling large-scale, precedence-constrained computations such as Artificial Intelligence tasks across distributed networks and reconfigurable machines. This involves developing new linear programming techniques that consider communication and topology constraints. The project also explores online algorithms for migrating computations and servers in distributed systems to optimize communication efficiency.
An integrated educational component to train undergraduate and doctoral students in infrastructure algorithms, develop curriculum, and engage high school students to inspire careers in math and computing.
The award aims to advance fundamental knowledge and develop practical technologies to enable more effective processing of large-scale, communication-intensive computational workloads in cloud computing and data center environments. This research has potential to improve performance for business operations and mission-critical systems.
