项目摘要

This award renews the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in Computer Systems Research at the University of Louisville. This REU Site hosts eight undergraduate students in eight-week summer sessions to conduct research with faculty mentors on topics related to computer systems, including computer architecture, operating systems, Internet of Things (IoT), embedded systems, and distributed machine learning. While it is open to undergraduates from all over the country, this funding fills a large gap regionally as currently it is the only REU site available for computer science research in Kentucky. In addition to the significant broader social impacts of the proposed research projects, this REU site impacts undergraduate students from schools with limited research opportunities by helping them gain theoretical and practical knowledge in computer systems concepts and tools, training them in conducting cutting-edge computer systems research, and inspiring them to pursue postgraduate education in computer science.With Moore's Law coming to an end, we are now in an exciting era ripe for the exploration of new computer systems for the future. In this regard, this REU Site includes a broad variety of computer systems research topics, ranging from processor architecture to storage systems and from small-scale systems such as IoT devices to large-scale distributed systems. Research projects advance the state-of-the-art in computer systems by exploring new architectures for emerging applications on mobile and edge devices; energy-efficient storage stack designs; energy-efficient embedded systems and microcontrollers; and novel distributed computing and explainable machine learning algorithms. A multi-level mentoring model is followed through weekly progress meetings with the PIs, regular research meetings with the mentors, and continuous interaction with graduate students.This project is jointly funded by CISE and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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.

该奖项在路易斯维尔大学的计算机系统研究中恢复了本科生（REU）网站的研究经验。该REU网站在八周的夏季课程中主持了八名本科生，以与教师导师进行有关与计算机系统有关的主题的研究，包括计算机架构，操作系统，物联网（IoT），嵌入式系统和分布式机器学习。虽然它向全国各地的本科生开放，但这笔资金在区域上填补了巨大的空白，因为目前，它是肯塔基州计算机科学研究的唯一REU网站。除了拟议的研究项目的重大社会影响外，该REU网站还通过获得计算机系统概念和工具方面的理论和实践知识来影响有限的研究机会的本科生，对他们进行尖端的计算机系统研究进行培训，并启发他们在计算机科学领域进行计算机科学的研究生。在这方面，此REU网站包括各种计算机系统研究主题，从处理器架构到存储系统以及从物联网设备等小规模系统到大型分布式系统。研究项目通过探索用于移动和边缘设备上新兴应用程序的新架构来推动计算机系统中的最新技术；节能存储堆栈设计；节能嵌入式系统和微控制器；以及新颖的分布计算和可解释的机器学习算法。在与PIS的每周进度会议，与导师的定期研究会议以及与研究生的持续互动之后，该项目由CISE共同资助和启发竞争性研究的既定计划（EPSCOR）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估范围的范围，该奖项反映了竞争者的范围，并互相评估，该项目均与竞争者的知识互动相结合。
