This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) project grant award of $169,200 to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. aims to develop a novel class of architectural data transformation units (DTUs) to improve the efficiency and performance of data processing in computing systems. The project will focus on three key research thrusts: 1) developing the foundational science of on-the-fly data transformation, 2) exploring alternative architectural paradigms for integrating DTUs, and 3) identifying programming models to empower application designers to utilize DTUs. The research findings will be integrated into undergraduate and graduate courses at Boston University and the University of Kansas, enhancing topics such as data systems, system performance evaluation, embedded real-time systems, and operating systems. The project will also support underrepresented populations and foster strong industry connections. This award reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific knowledge and technological innovation, and it has been deemed worthy of support through the agency's intellectual merit and broader impacts review process. No sub-awards are planned for this project.
