Center for Experimental Research in Computer Systems

这一规划拨款是建立计算机系统实验研究中心(CERC)的第一步，该中心寻求通过将具有支持这些系统的关键技术的知识的研究人员聚集在一起来解决复杂的通信/计算系统，从而创建能够以跨多种技术和不同系统组件集成的方式来解决未来系统和应用的研究团队。CERC的使命是开发新的硬件和软件技术，创造技术进步，并利用这些进步消除复杂、集成系统面临的技术障碍。CERC方法是实验和促进研究，其中新技术通过实验、大规模应用和相当大的规模或复杂的系统进行评估。其目的是了解引起新的系统级研究的具有挑战性的应用程序要求，其中系统级的洞察力促使某些应用程序的实施方式发生变化，以及新的系统技术使新的应用程序类别得以实现。该中心将与外部合作伙伴合作，了解他们的需求和要求，并试验替代解决方案和方法。

This planning grant award is the first step toward the setting up of the Center for Experimental Research in Computer Systems (CERCS) seeks to address complex communication/computation systems by bringing together researchers with knowledge of the key technologies underlying these systems, and thereby, create research teams that can address future systems and applications in a fashion that is integrated across multiple technologies and heterogeneous system components. The mission of CERCS is to develop new hardware and software technologies, to create technological advances, and to take advantage of these advances to remove technological barriers faced by complex, integrated systems.The CERCS approach is experimental and fosters research in which new technologies are evaluated experimentally, with large-scale applications and on systems of substantial size or complexity. The aim is to understand the challenging application requirements that cause novel system-level research, where insights at the system level motivate changes in how certain applications are implemented, and where new system technologies enable new classes of applications. The Center will work with external partners to comprehend their needs and requirements, and to experiment with alternative solutions and approaches.
