Operating and Runtime Systems for Extreme Scale Scientific Computation: The Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research(ASCR) of the Office ofScience (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces itsinterest inreceiving applications for research grants in Operating and Runtime SystemsforExtreme Scale Scientific Computation (FASTOS). This announcement isfocused onresearch and development of operating and runtime systems which enable theeffective management and use of extreme-scale systems (petascale andbeyond)for scientific computation. The overall goal of this announcement is tostimulate research and development related to operating and runtime systemsforpetascale systems the in 2010 to 2015 timeframe. It is likely that thesesystems will include a combination of commodity and custom components, withdifferent systems reflecting different degrees of customization. Operatingandruntime systems research must be driven from the needs of current andfutureapplications, and the primary focus is on supporting the needs of existingandanticipated SC and other DOE applications. An ultimate goal would be thedevelopment of a unified operating and runtime system that could fullysupportand exploit petascale and beyond systems and autonomously adapt to meetspecific application needs for performance, functionality, security, andfaulttolerance. The activities supported by this notice may be a combination ofbasic research, development, prototyping, and testing. Partnerships amonguniversities, National Laboratories, and industry areencouraged.
