Relaying an answer from AMP director Mike Franklin: "One year into the lab we got a 5 yr Expeditions in Computing Award as part of the White House Big Data initiative in 2012, so we extend the lab for a year. We intend to start winding it down at the end of 2016, while supporting existing projects and students who will be finishing up. The AMPLab faculty are starting discussions this summer about what research challenges we'd like to tackle next, and how best to organize to do so.
An interesting thing to note is that the Spark project started at about this point in the AMPLab predecessor project (RADLab) so we have a track record of being able to make these transitions."
