The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $269,263 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of Illinois to develop "datacenter-aware local storage stacks" for enhanced performance, resource optimization, and sustainability in datacenter storage systems. The 5-year project, which began on June 1, 2024, aims to redesign and optimize the underlying mechanisms for storage stack pillars such as performance, crash safety, efficiency, and data integrity by exploiting inherent datacenter redundancy. The project will contribute novel techniques, system designs, protocols, and practical implementations to realize the vision of datacenter-aware storage stacks. Additionally, the project places significant emphasis on education, including developing new courses, training student researchers, and creating a pocket cluster educational kit for K-12 students.
