The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $999,943 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of Utah to develop IOWARP, a next-generation data management platform tailored to the needs of modern, data-intensive scientific research. The 5-year project, starting August 1, 2024, will engineer a modular, adaptable, and scalable platform to significantly reduce data access times and accelerate the pace of scientific discovery. IOWARP will leverage state-of-the-art technologies like NVMe SSDs, CXL devices, and CPU-GPU co-designs to address the fundamental challenges researchers face with diverse data types, exponential data growth, and the need for rapid data access. By streamlining data workflows and enhancing accessibility, IOWARP aims to empower scientists to focus on their core mission of making groundbreaking discoveries in critical fields like genomics, climate modeling, and AI-driven research.
