This grant, offered by the Exploiting Parallelism and Scalability (XPS) program, supports groundbreaking parallel computing research. As single-processor performance plateaus, exploiting parallelism is critical for system improvements. This funding aims to foster a new era of parallel computing through collaborative efforts across all levels, from applications to micro-architecture. It seeks novel concepts, theories, and foundational principles for scalable performance and usability. Key research areas include new abstract models, algorithms, programming languages, hardware, compilers, operating systems, energy/communication efficiency, and optimizing edge-cloud workload division.

| Description: | Computing systems have undergone a fundamental transformation from the single-processor devices of the turn of the century to today’s ubiquitous and networked devices and warehouse-scale computing via the cloud. Parallelism is abundant at many levels. At the same time, semiconductor technology is facing fundamental physical limits and single processor performance has plateaued. This means that the ability to achieve predictable performance improvements through improved processor technologies alone has ended. Thus, parallelism has become critically important. The Exploiting Parallelism and Scalability (XPS) program aims to support groundbreaking research leading to a new era of parallel computing. Achieving the needed breakthroughs will require a collaborative effort among researchers representing all areas– from services and applications down to the micro-architecture– and will be built on new concepts, theories, and foundational principles. New approaches to achieve scalable performance and usability need new abstract models and algorithms, new programming models and languages, new hardware architectures, compilers, operating systems and run-time systems, and must exploit domain and application-specific knowledge. Research is also needed on energy efficiency, communication efficiency, and on enabling the division of effort between edge devices and clouds. |
