The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded Clemson University $499,999 on September 1, 2026, to develop FLEXSCALE, a system for managing high-performance computing (HPC) facilities under dynamic power availability and variable electricity costs. The award falls under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). FLEXSCALE establishes abstractions, models, and algorithms for coordinating job elasticity, scheduling, resource allocation, and power control in HPC systems. The project introduces innovations in workload classification by priority and execution elasticity; fine-grained management of malleable jobs through resource expansion, shrinkage, and power control under varying power constraints; application-agnostic power shifting to reduce critical-path execution time while respecting hierarchical power limits; and safe hardware overprovisioning to increase job capacity under existing power budgets. The work evaluates these methods using representative HPC and AI workloads and integrates results into systems deployed at HPC centers. By enabling computing centers to direct power where most needed and adjust flexible work when power is limited or expensive, FLEXSCALE supports more affordable and scalable national cyberinfrastructure. Work is performed in Clemson, South Carolina, from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2030. This is a project grant award.
