Grant Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) has three primary objectives for the research to be supported: ╢ To enhance our understanding of the challenges DOE scientists and user facilities face with respect to SSIO and related performance issues; ╢ To support design and prototyping of next-generation SSIO environments, including storage systems software and middleware; and ╢ To initiate exploratory research on new SSIO design alternatives to meet the challenges of extreme scale science. To meet these objectives, ASCR invites computer science research proposals to address three themes: 1. Measurement and Understanding of Storage Systems and Input/Output Challenges; 2. Scalable Storage Software Infrastructure; and 3. New Paradigms in Storage Systems and Input/Output. DOE National Laboratories that propose collaboration with a non-Laboratory partner should apply separately through Lab Announcement LAB 15-1338 in PAMS, while the non-Laboratory lead and non-Laboratory collaborating institutionsм applications should be submitted following the above rules in response to this FOA.
