Meta Research | 2022 Silent Data Corruptions at Scale request for proposals
Event details
| Date | 21.03.2022 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: Silent data corruption, or data errors that go undetected by the larger system, remain a widespread challenge for large-scale infrastructure systems. Within this novel research domain, we identify research opportunities that range from architectural solutions to data corruption, to fleetwide testing strategies and distributed computing resiliency 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 not limited to solutions specific to CPUs, but instead is pursuing all the components typically used within a server infrastructure. To foster further 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.
Funding $50,000
Eligibility: Applicants must be current full-time faculty at an accredited academic institution that awards research degrees to PhD students. Applicants must be the Principal Investigator on any resulting award.
How to Apply: Proposals should include a summary of the project (one to two pages), a draft budget, CVs for all project participants, and organization details; please contact the Research Office for assistance on organizational details if needed. When formulating the budget, note that research funds ideally cover the following: graduate or post-graduate students’ employment/tuition; other research costs; travel associated with the research; and overhead (limited to 5%). Please note that information provided in the proposal will not be treated as confidential by Meta.
Deadline: 21 March 2022 (5:00pm AOE)
