II-EN: Infrastructure for Computer Systems Research

该机构基础设施项目将建立在CRI之前的两项赠款基础上，以显着增强当前共享的高性能计算基础设施，以跟上快速增长的研究需求。由此产生的世界级计算设施将与所有计算机科学（CS）教师研究人员，宾厄姆顿合作者，外部合作者和学生共享。 具体而言，所要求的基础架构包括高端PowerEdge刀片式服务器沿着以及强大的高性能存储子系统。这些系统解决了微架构级功率和性能评估工具设计、数据中心能量优化技术、并行离散事件仿真、多媒体传感器网络、网格和云调度、科学数据集的数据缩减、大规模web数据库集成系统项目、虚拟化、实时数据服务、和I/O密集型模拟项目。由此产生的世界一流的计算设施将有利于学生，教师和合作者。它将被用来加强各种各样的课程，该项目包括一个协调的教育和研究计划，加强部门的教学和学生培训工作。 结果将通过研究出版物和专门用于该项目的网页传播给广大受众，以宣传该设施的使用情况。设备所在的CS部门致力于增加传统上代表性不足的群体的妇女和学生的入学率，以及本科生对研究的参与（例如，当前的CISE REU站点）。 这些设备将帮助该部门通过推动对这些群体中最优秀的学生有吸引力的研究来推进这些努力。

This institutional infrastructure project will build on two previous CRI grants in order to significantly enhance the current shared high performance computing infrastructure in order to keep up with rapidly increasing research demands. The resulting world-class computing facilities will be shared with all Computer Science (CS) faculty researchers, Binghamton collaborators, external collaborators, and students. Specifically, the requested infrastructure consists of high-end PowerEdge Blade servers along with a robust and high performance storage subsystem. These systems address the computational and storage needs common to research projects in microarchitectural-level power and performance assessment tool design, data center energy optimization techniques, parallel discrete event simulation, multimedia senor networks, Grid and cloud scheduling, data reduction of scientific datasets, large scale web database integration systems projects, virtualization, real-time data services, and I/O intensive simulation projects.The resulting world-class computing facilities will benefit students, faculty, and collaborators. It will be used to enhance a wide variety of courses, and the project includes a coordinated education and research program that enhances the department's instruction and student training efforts. Results will be disseminated to a wide audience through research publications and also on a Web page devoted to the project to advertise how the facility is being used.The CS Department where the equipment is housed is committed to increasing the enrollment of women and students from traditionally underrepresented groups, and its involvement of undergraduates in research (as evidenced, e.g., by a current CISE REU Site). This equipment will help the department to advance these efforts by driving research that will be attractive to the best students from these groups.
