Project Grant 2513928

The University of Texas at Austin received a $703,154 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2031. This collaborative research initiative delivers the Framework for Advanced (Multi)Linear Infrastructure in Engineering and Science (FAMLIES), an adaptable software framework designed to optimize matrix and tensor computations across the full high-performance computing hardware stack. The framework vertically integrates software layers to support critical applications in drug design, quantum computing development, and artificial intelligence architecture development while reducing computational resource demands and hardware costs.

FAMLIES is released under open-source license and modernizes dense linear algebra software libraries that have been foundational to scientific computing over the past four decades. The framework enhances flexibility and convenience for cutting-edge applications requiring new functionality and rapid development cycles, while simultaneously reducing barriers to entry for computational and data scientists. By building upon highly successful prior research in linear algebra computing, the project supports innovation across science and engineering disciplines and facilitates the training of the next generation of computational scientists through accessible, adaptable software infrastructure.
