This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program provides $509,008 to the University of Texas at Arlington to develop secure containers specifically tailored for high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructures.

The project has two primary tasks: 1) Designing an efficient image vulnerability scanner using innovative techniques like graph neural networks and natural language processing to improve coverage compared to existing scanners, and 2) Developing a secure and high-performance container runtime optimized for HPC workloads by leveraging a lightweight virtual machine hypervisor. The project aims to enhance the security and privacy of HPC systems that handle sensitive data and critical scientific computations.

Additionally, the University of Delaware is a sub-awardee on the project, with $259,203 in funding to contribute expertise. The overall effort runs from October 2024 through August 2026.
