 proposals
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220321

CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim:  Silent data corruption\, or data errors that go undetec
 ted by the larger system\, remain a widespread challenge for large-scale i
 nfrastructure systems. Within this novel research domain\, we identify res
 earch opportunities that range from architectural solutions to data corrup
 tion\, to fleetwide testing strategies and distributed computing resilienc
 y models\, to software and library resiliency\, to silicon level design\, 
 simulation and manufacturing approaches. Solutions could be cross-layered 
 with proposals combining different domains within the above. This RFP is n
 ot limited to solutions specific to CPUs\, but instead is pursuing all the
  components typically used within a server infrastructure. To foster furth
 er innovation in this area\, and to deepen our collaboration with academia
 \, Meta is pleased to invite faculty to respond to this call for research 
 proposals pertaining to the aforementioned topics. Payment will be made to
  the proposer's host university as an unrestricted gift.\n\nFunding   
      $50\,000\n\nEligibility: Applicants must be current full-time fac
 ulty at an accredited academic institution that awards research degrees to
  PhD students. Applicants must be the Principal Investigator on any result
 ing award.\n\nHow to Apply: Proposals should include a summary of the proj
 ect (one to two pages)\, a draft budget\, CVs for all project participants
 \, and organization details\; please contact the Research Office for assis
 tance on organizational details if needed.  When formulating the budget\,
  note that research funds ideally cover the following: graduate or post-gr
 aduate students’ employment/tuition\; other research costs\; travel asso
 ciated with the research\; and overhead (limited to 5%). Please note that 
 information provided in the proposal will not be treated as confidential b
 y Meta.\n\nDeadline:      21 March 2022 (5:00pm AOE)\n\nFurther infor
 mation\n\n	More information about the program is available here\n	The appl
 ication portal can be found here\n	For any other questions\, please contac
