SCOPE

The Advanced Computational Reseach (ACR) program focuses on the research and enabling technologies needed to advance the state of the art in high-end computing and computational science, and bring advanced computational capabilities to bear on fundamental science and engineering problems. Current focus areas include software systems and tools, visualization and data handling, and scalable algorithms. ACR also supports work on multidisciplinary analysis and design, heterogeneous computing, web-based meta-computing, computational steering and remote collaboration on high performance computing applications. An area of growing interest is algorithm scalabilty addressing such issues as latency-tolerant algorithms, and research into means to handle complex multi-level memory hierarchies.

The current Program Director for ACR is Xiaodong Zhang.  His home institution is the College of William and Mary, where he is a professor of computer science.  His area of expertise is high performance computing and systems, with emphasis on memory systems and distributed computing. While at NSF, however, he intends to support excellent research in all areas as described above.


NSF Document: NSF 98-168

Additional Information

There are several closely related programs to ACR. Investigators who are unsure whether to submit to ACR or another program are encouraged to contact Xiaodong Zhang and/or to the director of the other program.


  • NEW! Information Technology Research is a CISE-led initiative directed at research in fundamental information technology. The 'Advanced Computational Science' thrust is very closely related to research in ACR. This is a major new program, based on the PITAC Report. If you are in computer or computational science, you should check it out.
  • NEW! Biocomplexity is a cross-NSF, multidisciplinary program of integrated research to understand and model complexity among biological, physical, and social systems. This is a very important program to NSF, and we encourage all applications-minded CS researchers to consider how their work might relate to it.
  • Next Generation Software, directed by Frederica Darema, funds research and development for new software technologies integrated across the systems' architectural layers.
  • Also, check out the CISE Program Announcements and CISE Proposal Submission Guidelines for more comprehensive information.
