CRI: Heterogeneous High Performance Infrastructure for Computer Systems Research

该项目将为新实验室购买两个高性能集群，其中包括一个高性能存储子系统，包括服务器、工作站、笔记本电脑和PC。一个集群可以专门用于建立在稳定系统平台上的研究，而第二个集群可以用于破坏性研究和实验。每个集群将有16个节点，几个RAID服务器等。拟议的基础设施将支持PI在几个研究领域的工作，包括网格计算，传感器网络，移动的计算和可视化。他们还与计算机科学系以外的单位开展了许多合作项目。该小组将加入Planetlab，以利用他们在分布式计算研究中的资源。为了解决更广泛的影响，这些资源将提供给纽约州立大学宾厄姆顿分校的其他研究人员，并将用于开发新的本科生和研究生课程。

This project will acquire two high-performance clusters with a high-performance storage subsystem, including servers, workstations, laptops, and PCs for new labs. One cluster can be dedicated to research that build on a stable system platform, while the second can be used for disruptive research and experiments. Each cluster will have 16 nodes, several RAID servers, etc. The proposed infrastructure will support the PIs in their work in several research areas, including Grid computing, sensor networks, mobile computing, and visualization. They also have a number of collaborative projects with units outside the computer science department. The group will join Planetlab to leverage their resources in distributed computing research. Addressing broader impacts, the resources will be available to other researchers at SUNY at Binghamton and will be used in developing new undergraduate and graduate courses.
