Under the auspices of the Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (IUCRC) program at the National Science Foundation, a new national research Center has been jointly established, the Center for Space, High-performance, and Resilient Computing (SHREC). This Center comprises three university Sites, including the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) as lead institution, and Brigham Young University (BYU) and the University of Florida (UF) as partner institutions. The SHREC Center is dedicated to assisting U.S. industrial partners, government agencies, and research organizations in mission-critical computing, with research in three domains: space computing for Earth science, space science, and defense; high-performance computing for a broad range of grand-challenge apps; and resilient computing for dependability in harsh or critical environments. The university Sites of the SHREC Center will help address the shortage in the mission-critical computing workforce by training many students with the knowledge and skills necessary to solve the many challenges facing this growing industry.With the complementary nature of expertise at each Site, the SHREC Center will address research challenges facing the three domains of mission-critical computing, by exploiting a variety of existing and emerging computing technologies, including digital signal processors, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), graphical processing units (GPUs), hybrid processors, advanced memories, and high-speed interconnects. For space computing, a specialty at the Pitt and BYU Sites, the Center will develop, evaluate, and deploy novel forms of space architectures, apps, computers, networks, services, and systems, while leveraging commercial and radiation-hardened or -tolerant technologies. For high-performance computing, a specialty at the UF and Pitt Sites, the Center will explore the application and productive use of heterogeneous computing technologies and architectures in support of high-speed, mission-critical computing. For resilient computing, a specialty at the BYU and Pitt Sites, the Center will exploit its expertise in fault injection and mitigation as well as radiation testing to demonstrate unique reliability concepts and solutions, including adaptive hardware redundancy, fault masking, and software fault tolerance.

在美国国家科学基金会的工业/大学合作研究中心（IUCRC）计划的赞助下，一个新的国家研究中心已经联合成立，即空间，高性能和弹性计算中心（SHREC）。该中心由三所大学组成，包括匹兹堡大学（皮特）作为牵头机构，杨百翰大学（杨百翰大学）和佛罗里达大学（UF）作为合作机构。SHREC中心致力于协助美国工业合作伙伴，政府机构和研究组织进行关键任务计算，研究领域有三个：地球科学，空间科学和国防的空间计算;针对各种重大挑战应用程序的高性能计算;以及在恶劣或关键环境中实现可靠性的弹性计算。SHREC中心的大学站点将帮助解决关键任务计算劳动力短缺的问题，通过培训许多学生，使他们具备必要的知识和技能，以解决这个不断增长的行业所面临的许多挑战。凭借每个站点专业知识的互补性，SHREC中心将解决关键任务计算三个领域所面临的研究挑战，通过利用各种现有和新兴的计算技术，包括数字信号处理器、现场可编程门阵列（FPGA）、图形处理单元（GPU）、混合处理器、高级存储器和高速互连。对于皮特和杨百翰大学的专业空间计算，该中心将开发，评估和部署新形式的空间架构，应用程序，计算机，网络，服务和系统，同时利用商业和辐射加固或耐受技术。对于高性能计算，在UF和皮特网站的专业，该中心将探索应用和异构计算技术和架构的生产使用，以支持高速，关键任务计算。对于弹性计算，杨百翰大学和皮特网站的专业，该中心将利用其在故障注入和缓解以及辐射测试方面的专业知识，展示独特的可靠性概念和解决方案，包括自适应硬件冗余，故障屏蔽和软件容错。
