Center for Research on Intelligent Storage (CRIS)Proposal #1127829This proposal seeks funding for the Center for Research on Intelligent Storage (CRIS) at the University of Minnesota ? Twin Cities. Funding Requests for Fundamental Research are authorized by an NSF approved solicitation, NSF 10-601. The solicitation invites I/UCRCs to submit proposals for support of industry-defined fundamental research. Migration away from Hard Disk Drives (HDD) to solid state drives (SDDs) composed of NAND flash memory is viewed as essential to meeting access speed, energy, reliability, and mobility requirements of emerging data storage systems. The proposed effort seeks to investigate architectures for the integration of NAND flash and Phase Change Memory (PCM) ? a new technology that is highly scalable with improved performance (I/O, erase, write endurance). The proposed research plans to address design issues peculiar to the integration of these two technologies with the intent of developing new architectures, algorithms and analytic tools with which to arrive at innovative solutions that will enable use of flash-based memory devices in high-performance and low-power computer systems and data intensive applications.NAND-PCM architectures have the potential to enhance the performance of high-end as wella s data-intensive computing while addressing increasing the increasing need to reduce energy consumption. Outcomes of the proposed research have the potential for major impact in the US computing and data systems sector. The proposed effort has garnered support from one center member, Los Alamos Nation Lab, for execution of the proposed work. This industry sector will further benefit via dissemination of the results through the Center membership and the extension of the centers project portfolio into this area. Opportunities are planned for graduate and undergraduate students including those in underrepresented groups.

智能存储研究中心（CRIS）提案#1127829该提案旨在为明尼苏达大学智能存储研究中心（CRIS）提供资金。双子城基础研究的资金申请由NSF批准的招标（NSF 10-601）授权。 征集邀请I/UCRC提交支持行业定义的基础研究的提案。从硬盘驱动器（HDD）迁移到由NAND闪存组成的固态驱动器（SDD）被认为是满足新兴数据存储系统的访问速度、能量、可靠性和移动性要求的关键。 拟议的努力旨在调查架构的NAND闪存和相变存储器（PCM）的集成？ 这是一项新技术，具有高度可扩展性和更高的性能（I/O、擦除、写入耐久性）。 拟议的研究计划解决这两种技术集成所特有的设计问题，旨在开发新的架构，算法和分析工具，以达到创新的解决方案，使基于闪存的存储器设备在高性能和低功耗的计算机系统和数据密集型应用的使用。NAND-PCM架构有潜力提高高性能，结束数据密集型计算，同时满足日益增长的降低能耗的需求。拟议研究的结果有可能对美国计算和数据系统行业产生重大影响。 拟议的努力已经获得了一个中心成员，洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室，为执行拟议的工作的支持。 该行业将通过中心成员资格传播成果和将中心项目组合扩展到该领域而进一步受益。计划为研究生和本科生提供机会，包括代表性不足的群体。
