Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

NSF/VMware Partnership on The Next Generation of Sustainable Digital Infrastructure (NGSDI) Program

August 18th, 2020 / in Announcements, NSF / by Helen Wright

NSF logoThe following is an announcement of a joint solicitation between NSF/VMware on The Next Generation of Sustainable Digital Infrastructure (NGSDI) Program. Computing Community Consortium (CCC) Council member and VMware employee Sujata Banerjee is involved with this program but was not involved with CCC’s decision to reblog it.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is holding a webinar on Monday, August 31st from 1-2 PM EDT about the new The Next Generation of Sustainable Digital Infrastructure (NGSDI) Program.

The goal of this joint solicitation between NSF and VMware is to foster novel, transformative research in fundamental and systematic approaches that bring dramatic increases in the environmental sustainability of the Digital Infrastructure leading to practical methodologies and tools. The Digital Infrastructure is broadly defined as the totality of software, hardware, and the methods for managing them for the purpose of efficient computation. This research includes, but is not limited to, computer software and systems; management of distributed software, the Digital Infrastructure, and data center power sourcing; and resource allocation and scheduling. Critical to initiating such research is to set its objectives through the definition of novel metrics and benchmarks that capture the sustainability challenges of all components in the entire computation chain.

The program also aims to support a research community committed to advancing research and education at the confluence of management technologies for software, hardware and power for Sustainable Digital Infrastructure, and to transition research findings into practice. A new generation of innovation would build on many recent advances such as passive and active measurements, statistical analysis and inference, learning for automated control and complex optimization, workload isolation and management, agile development, convergence of development and production environments, and architecture-optimized language translation.

To join the webinar, please register in advance here.
