This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.070 - Computer and Information Science and Engineering) is enhancing international exploratory research by strategically deploying next-generation SmartNIC/DPU technology at four existing international Fabric research sites. The project will accelerate data-intensive scientific research across domains like high-energy physics, federated learning, and wireless networking between the USA and international partners by offloading networking, storage, and security tasks from traditional CPUs/GPUs to the programmable, high-performance SmartNICs. This will reduce time-to-insight for researchers and enable secure experimentation. The award recipient, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has a strong track record of federal research contracts and grants across scientific disciplines. This project builds upon the existing Fabric Across Borders (FAB) initiative to broaden global researcher access to advanced networking technologies.
