Recent advancements in computer science have enabled an exponential data growth outpacing technology scaling. As an increasing number of mobile devices, sensors and data acquisition systems is producing exabytes of information, analyzing the obtained data are becoming unfeasible, requiring novel approaches to store and compute on this vast amount of data. Improving the performance and efficiency of storage systems is of paramount importance to enable scientific progress, to improve the cost and energy consumption of IT systems and to enable analysis of large amounts of data. To achieve this goal, as part of this grant, novel approaches on the hardware, operating systems, data-center and application level will be developed. Enabling such new techniques will provide significant benefit for society. First, the new approaches developed in this project will improve efficiency and utilization of storage systems reducing the carbon footprint on our world. Secondly, improving the performance of storage devices enables novel applications such as new treatments leveraging storage and compute intensive genomics.As part of this project, cross layer optimizations will be developed to improve the hardware and software stack of storage systems using machine learning techniques. One main challenge of existing block storage devices is their transparency of internal state to software. This work addresses this shortcoming by extending storage devices with comprehensive data monitoring capabilities as well as with control knobs to optimize devices in an application specific way. The telemetry data obtained from these smart storage devices will be utilized to train machine learning models to optimize for application specific behavior as well as for determining optimal configurations of heterogeneous storage and compute environments.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.

计算机科学的最新进展使指数数据增长超过了技术扩展。随着越来越多的移动设备，传感器和数据采集系统正在生产信息，分析所获得的数据变得不可行，需要新颖的方法来存储和计算大量数据。提高存储系统的性能和效率对于使科学进步，提高IT系统的成本和能源消耗并能够分析大量数据至关重要。为了实现这一目标，将开发有关硬件，操作系统，数据中心和应用程序级别的新颖方法。实现这种新技术将为社会带来重大利益。首先，该项目开发的新方法将提高存储系统的效率和利用，从而减少了我们世界上的碳足迹。其次，提高存储设备的性能可以实现新颖的应用程序，例如利用存储和计算密集基因组学的新处理。作为该项目的一部分，将开发跨层优化，以改善使用机器学习技术的硬件和软件堆栈。现有块存储设备的一个主要挑战是它们内部状态对软件的透明度。这项工作通过使用全面的数据监视功能以及控制旋钮扩展存储设备来解决此缺点，以特定于应用程序的方式优化设备。从这些智能存储设备获得的遥测数据将用于训练机器学习模型，以优化针对应用程序的特定行为以及确定异质存储和计算环境的最佳配置。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并已通过评估该基金会的知识分子优点和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务。
