This $200,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under CFDA Program 47.079 - Office of International Science and Engineering supports research to enhance the energy efficiency of large language models (LLMs), which are crucial for advanced artificial intelligence (AI) applications. The key objectives are to: 1) optimize LLM energy consumption in Compute Express Link (CXL)-enabled hardware environments; 2) leverage high-performance computing middleware and CXL features to ensure sustainable and efficient AI operations; and 3) address fundamental issues in LLM training and use at scale, such as power management and communication optimization. The project is a collaboration between U.S. and Indian researchers, and it aims to advance AI capabilities while reducing energy costs, provide educational opportunities for graduate students, and promote broader societal benefits through the research findings. No sub-awards are planned under this award, which has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027.
