The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,997,523 project grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) to the University of Tennessee for the Monitoring Infrastructure for Network and Computing Environment Research (MINCER) project. The MINCER project aims to provide simple ways to monitor and collect data that helps scientists understand how computer and network systems work. The monitoring infrastructure will offer enhanced performance and power monitoring capabilities for AI architectures, unique network-related measurements to support research in areas like network anomaly detection and energy efficiency, and integration with research platforms like Chameleon and the Open Science Grid. The project will be hosted on a website where users can download the MINCER monitoring infrastructure and access supporting materials. The project period runs from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027.
The project includes a $231,521 sub-award to the University of Texas at El Paso to develop an AI-empowered anomaly detection engine that monitors the communication network in high-performance computing environments. This work aims to enhance cybersecurity for scientific computing resources at risk of cyber threats.
