Center for Experimental Research in Computer Systems

这项计划补助金是建立计算机系统实验研究中心（CERCS）的第一步，该中心旨在通过汇集了解这些系统基础关键技术的研究人员来解决复杂的通信/计算系统，从而，创建研究团队，以跨多种技术和异构系统组件集成的方式解决未来的系统和应用程序。 CERCS的使命是开发新的硬件和软件技术，创造技术进步，并利用这些进步来消除复杂的综合系统所面临的技术障碍，CERCS的方法是实验性的，并促进研究，其中对新技术进行实验评估，大规模应用和大规模或复杂的系统。 其目的是了解具有挑战性的应用需求，导致新的系统级研究，在系统级的见解激励某些应用程序的实现方式的变化，以及新的系统技术使新的应用程序类。 该中心将与外部合作伙伴合作，了解他们的需求和要求，并尝试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.
