The University of Akron received a $199,413 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) to advance distributed artificial intelligence (AI) computing infrastructure. Awarded on July 1, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2028, this Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems Division-funded project delivers research and development on coding-based techniques that enhance the resilience and robustness of distributed matrix computations against straggler effects—delays caused by slow or failed worker nodes in large-scale computing clusters. The core deliverables address three primary design challenges: optimizing recovery of desired computations from minimal worker results, maintaining low encoding and decoding overhead, and ensuring numerically reliable recovery processes suitable for real-world distributed cloud and computing environments supporting machine learning, large language models, scientific computing, and data analytics applications. Beyond technical research outputs, the project includes substantial workforce development and educational contributions. Deliverables encompass integration of research findings into undergraduate and graduate coursework in distributed computing, cloud platforms, coding theory, and machine learning systems; student research experiences; and K-12 outreach activities featuring mathematics tutoring and computer science learning modules. These educational components support broader national capacity-building in scalable AI infrastructure while advancing the mathematical and algorithmic foundations essential to modern distributed computing environments.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
