  1. Interlab: A History of Cooperation Becky J. Verastegui Chief Information Officer & Director, Networking & Computing Technologies Division Oak Ridge National Laboratory October 27, 2004 Oak Ridge, Tennessee

  2. ORNL is DOE’s largest multipurpose science laboratory • Nation’s largest science facility:the $1.4B Spallation Neutron Source • Nation’s largest concentrationof open source materials research • Nation’s largest energy laboratory • $300 million modernization in progress • $1 billion budget • 3900 employees • 3000 research guests annually • Nation’s largest unclassified scientific computing facility Interlab 10/27/2004

  3. Battelle and the University of Tennessee created UT-Battelle to manage ORNL University of Tennessee Battelle Interlab 10/27/2004

  4. Our integrating scientific themes at the start of the 21st century Complex biological systems Bio Nano Info Ultrascale computingand simulation Nanoscale scienceand technology Interlab 10/27/2004

  5. Our world-class capabilities for nanoscale R&D are coming on line Spallation Neutron Source: • Nation’s largest science project • On schedule,on budget,on scope — 85% complete High Flux Isotope Reactor: • Nation’s leading research reactor • World-classinstrumentsinstalled Ultrahigh-resolution microscopy • Advanced Microscopy Laboratory ready for aberration-corrected electron microscope • New world recordresolution: 0.6 Å • Aiming for 0.3 Å Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences • First of five DOE-sponsored centers • User programalready under way Interlab 10/27/2004

  6. We are at the forefront in computing and simulation • Computing is essential to addressing major scientific challenges • We lead DOE’s effort to regain and retain U.S. leadership in this vitally important area • Our goal is to bring the world’s most powerful computer to Oak Ridge • To solve problems that cannotbe solved experimentally • To solve problems that are too expensiveto solve experimentally • To accelerate discovery as nano meets simulation Interlab 10/27/2004

  7. We are building momentum in systems biology Challenge: Integrate biology and ecologybased on the foundation of understanding molecular-level interactions Goals • Understand how livingorganisms interact withand respond to their environments • Use biological processesto produce clean energy,sequester carbon, and helpclean up the environment • Reduce the impactsof climate change • Learn how the componentsof the cell function in health and disease Interlab 10/27/2004

  9. We invest in the community Investments in four areas Key issues: ScienceEducation Civic and Cultural Events CorporateVolunteerism EconomicDevelopment Interlab 10/27/2004

  10. The national laboratories collaborate to meet DOE’s mission needs Idaho Ames Argonne PacificNorthwest LawrenceBerkeley Brookhaven Jefferson Stanford Oak Ridge LawrenceLivermore SavannahRiver Sandia National Renewable Energy Lab Los Alamos Interlab 10/27/2004

  11. Through cooperation of all Labs Interlab has moved and grown

  12. National Security Environment Energy Integrating scientific themes Intellectual foundations in science/engineering/technology Best business practices and work environment At Interlab, relationships are made that integrate throughout the year Applied to national problems Powerful partnerships Collaboration Interlab 10/27/2004

  13. We partner with each other to put web innovations to work • New tools for partnerships • Aggressive outreach • Sharing ideas • Thousands of new web sites • Frequent interactions among labs • Unprecedented partnerships Since Interlab 1994: Interlab 10/27/2004

  14. Everyone here has been a benefactor in Interlab’s history of cooperation Thanks to the InterLab 2004 Organizing Committee! The following folks (among many others) helped to organize Interlab 2004: Jim Pearce - Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Lead Organizer Karen Barry - Oak Ridge National Laboratory Joe Chervenak - National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Program Committee Janet Dippo - Oak Ridge National Laboratory Mark Elmore - Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Program Committee Nancy Getsi - Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Program Committee Chair Annette Greiner - Joint Genome Institute, Program Committee Becky Verastegui - Oak Ridge National Laboratory Bebo White - Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Program Committee Interlab 10/27/2004

  15. ORNL is open for business Continue Cooperation and Enjoy Your Conference! www.ornl.gov Interlab 10/27/2004
