EIA 02-02007Das, Chita R.Acharya, Raj; Giles, C. L.; Irwin, Mary Jane; Plassman, Paul E.Pennsylvania State University (I^3\)C: An Infrastructure for Innovation in Information Computing This proposal, advancing the state-of-the-art in cluster computing, addresses a broad spectrum of interactive and archival information processing issues that require intensive computational capabilities. A high performance compute-engine (clusters), the Access Net, Storage Network (file and database server), and a Media Lab (multimedia and graphics equipment, workstations, laptops, PDAs, and software) comprise the infrastructure that will support the following three core areas, with respective research activities:1. Applicationsa. Computational Scienceb. Digital Immortalityc. Bioinformatics2. System Softwarea. Cluster Schedulingb. Shared I/O Supportc. Fault Tolerance3. Architecturea. QoS Support for Multimedia and E-Commerce Applications in Clustered-Serversb. Design of Energy-Efficient Hardware and Software Optimizationsc. Energy Perspective Optimization of Different Layers of the Wireless Protocol Stack The project focuses on three application areas (Computational Science, Digital Immortality, and Bioinformatics) to examine common research issues, which in turn drive the Software and Architecture research for providing holistic solutions to challenging problems. A research team, consisting of 25 investigators from three different colleges, will benefit from this infrastructure by strengthening their interdisciplinary research through cross-fertilization of new ideas.
