The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $540,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NETS:MEDIUM:RACK-SCALE DISAGGREGATION AND CONSOLIDATION OF NETWORK FUNCTIONALITIES" project. This collaborative research initiative explores the benefits of network disaggregation in data centers by pooling network functionalities into a system layer separate from end hosts. The project aims to develop a rack-level disaggregated network solution called "NetFusion", which utilizes a pool of programmable network interface cards (SmartNICs) to execute network tasks on behalf of applications. This approach seeks to enable statistical multiplexing of networking demands and bring the flexibility, energy, and cost benefits of disaggregation to data center networks and applications. The project duration is from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2029.
