OpportunityTitle: Storage Systems and Input/Output for Extreme Scale Science
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: All types of applicants are eligible to apply, except Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) Contractors, and nonprofit organizations described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995.
Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) has three primary objectives for the research to be supported: &#8226; To enhance our understanding of the challenges DOE scientists and user facilities face with respect to SSIO and related performance issues; &#8226; To support design and prototyping of next-generation SSIO environments, including storage systems software and middleware; and &#8226; 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 institutions&#8217; applications should be submitted following the above rules in response to this FOA.
