NSF Student Travel Grant for 2020 ACM International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS)

本提案用于支持将于2020年3月16日至20日在瑞士洛桑举行的第25届ACM编程语言和操作系统架构支持国际会议（ASPLOS）的差旅费。ASPLOS是跨学科系统研究的领先论坛，涵盖计算机体系结构和硬件，编程语言和编译器以及操作系统。ASPLOS选择的研究论文通常针对广泛的重要目标，如性能，能源和热效率，可靠性，安全性和可持续性。美国国家科学基金会申请的资金将帮助目前在美国大学和研究所学习的20名学生参加ASPLOS会议，从而有机会展示他们的研究想法，并获得社区领导人的建议。此外，部分资金将保留用于支持本科生申请人和属于代表性不足群体的学生。随着摩尔定律的终结、大数据的爆炸式增长、从超低功耗可穿戴设备到亿万级并行和云计算机的广泛计算规模以及对可持续性的需求，ASPLOS等论坛的重要性不断增长。ASPLOS采用系统研究，以新的方式直接针对这些新问题。从历史上看，该会议吸引了来自学术界和工业界的顶级研究论文，会议记录中发表的许多创新在系统和硬件行业的历史上具有影响力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This proposal is for support of a travel to the 25th ACM International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS), to be held in Lausanne, Switzerland, March 16-20, 2020. ASPLOS is a leading forum for multidisciplinary systems research spanning computer architecture and hardware, programming languages and compilers, and operating systems. Research papers selected for ASPLOS often target a wide spectrum of important goals such as performance, energy and thermal efficiency, reliability, security, and sustainability. The funds requested from NSF will help support 20 students who currently study in US universities and institutes to attend the ASPLOS conference, and hence get chances to presenting their research ideas and to get advice from leaders in the community. Moreover, part of the funds will be reserved to support undergraduate student applicants and students belonging to under-represented groups. The importance of forum such as ASPLOS continues to grow as we come to the end of Moore's Law, experiencing the explosion of big data, the wide spectrum of computing scales from ultra-low power wearable devices to exascale parallel and cloud computers, and the need for sustainability. ASPLOS embraces systems research that directly targets these new problems in new ways. Historically, the conference has attracted top research papers from both academia and industry, and many innovations published in the proceedings have been influential in the history of the systems and hardware industry.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
