This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, CFDA 47.070, is funding the development of a framework called BONSAI (Beyond-Optimization Network System Allocation Intelligence). BONSAI leverages machine learning to enable high-quality resource allocation decisions for complex network and cloud computing environments where precise modeling is challenging.

The $819,753 award to Purdue University will advance custom neural architectures inspired by network optimization models to address multi-criteria resource allocation problems. The research aims to create resilient neural models that can adapt to real-world feedback and validate solutions in real-time. Key focus areas include traffic engineering in wide-area networks and scheduling distributed AI training jobs on shared GPU clusters. The project will involve student participation and result in a new graduate course on ML-driven computer networking. The research outputs will be publicly available throughout the project period and for at least three years after.
