Large-Scale Systems Group (LSSG)

The Large-Scale Systems Group (LSSG) is interested in critical systems research questions underlying robust, scalable large-scale systems which pervade the internet, high performance, and enterprise computing.  Future global-scale information systems have billions of elements, exabytes of data, and endemic impact on social, consumer, commercial, and scientific applications of unprecedented scale.  Achieving this extraordinary scale poses difficult challenges in a number of dimensions systems, architecture, networking, and programming.Specific dimensions of interest include programming and applications, system software, networking, and architecture.   The LSSG is led by Prof. Andrew A Chien.   People            Join LSSG!        Group Poster Research Projects  10x10 – Taming Heterogeneity for Energy-Efficient, General-Purpose Computing      EASE -- Easy Exabyte Computing   (includes Blockus and GVR) We also have undergraduate projects! The LSSG is part of the Systems Group in the University of Chicago's Department of Computer Science, and also affiliated with Chicago's Computation Institute, and Argonne National Laboratory's  Mathematics and Computer Science Division.
