This $540,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) aims to develop scalable, automated software infrastructure to enable the deployment and benefits of Computational Storage Devices (CSDs) across critical High-Performance Computing (HPC) workloads. The project focuses on five integrated research thrusts: 1) characterizing HPC workloads to identify CSD offload opportunities, 2) exposing CSD capabilities through abstractions and interfaces, 3) compiler-directed optimizations for CSD-aware code and data placement, 4) a runtime system to manage CSD offloading, and 5) a simulation platform and benchmark suite for future CSD architectures. This work seeks to lower the programming barrier for CSD adoption, enable intelligent orchestration of heterogeneous storage-side compute resources, and advance the state of the art in near-storage computing to accelerate data-intensive scientific workloads in domains like energy systems, AI, and precision health. The award was granted to The Pennsylvania State University and will run from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028.
