TeraGrid External Relations Forum Update Elizabeth Leake September 23, 2010
Media Milestones in Q2’10 • 16 new Science Highlight stories developed for 2010 book • 29 Stories or Press Releases total Q2 • 172 news “events” where TeraGrid was mentioned in a unique way on the World Wide Web (per Google Alerts for the term “TeraGrid”– there were 330 in all of 2009) • Increased outreach efforts to professional organizations • More Buzz among bloggers • International coverage increased • iSGTW • OSG/TG Collaboration • Leake attending EGEE conference/coverage relating to TeraGrid • Q3 will have more--TG/DEISA (Sicily) and Pan-Am (Valparaiso, Chile) Workshop coverage
TeraGrid Extension Year • Additional graphic design services—Shandra Williams, PSC • TGXX & SCXX conference communication needs • Web design work • Documentation • Misc. • Additional science writing—Jan Zverina, SDSC • Story development for Science Highlights • TG’10 Communication needs • Additional focus on TeraGrid-wide stories
2010 Science Highlights—focus on the future • Led by Warren Froelich, SDSC and designed by Carlton Bruett, Carlton Bruett Design • Message from Forum Chair—XD: The Future is Now “Mid-2011 will see the launch of the next phase of the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) investment in high-end computing…XD will increase the productivity of the computationally-savvy researchers who use our resources, and the new infrastructure will enable major advances in science and engineering…. As chair of the TeraGrid Forum, it’s my pleasure to share this collection of science and engineering highlights. …Enjoy reading about the scientific advances TeraGrid made possible in 2010, and imagine what the future will hold!”
2010 Science Highlights—focus on the future • 16 TeraGrid stories demonstrate:1. Potential to transform research in a particular domain. 2. Use of several TeraGrid resources across multiple RP sites. 3. Research conducted at a single resource provider site: all RPs are represented. 4. Work of individuals who are typically under-represented in HPC. 5. The illumination of projects in fields of study that are typically under-represented. 6. TeraGrid's impact—it couldn't have been accomplished without it. 7. Collaborative efforts with other grids, international partners, business, and industry. • A story about how TeraGrid resources were used to mitigate the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico will span four pages—also featured on a poster for the October 22-24 NSF Science and Technology Expo in Washington DC, and on a prominent display in the SC’10 booth (TACC and LONI stories).
TRAC Process Involvement • ER continues to watch the TRAC process in an effort to identify stories early in the process. • Dan Katz and Elizabeth Leake alternate attending TRAC meetings in search of new highlights. • A letter from Katz and Leake is included in the TRAC reviewer packet. • Leake issues the quarterly deadline announcement, which also publicizes the number of cycles awarded in the previous quarter, resources available for the current cycle, and other information relevant to the transition to XD. See 10-15-10 DRAFT Deadline Announcement.
TeraGrid’10 Conference • Warren Froelich, SDSC Deputy Chair • Jan Zverina, SDSC & Elizabeth Leake, GIG communication co-chairs • Faith Singer-Villalobos, TACC; Bill Bell, NCSA; Daphne Seifert, IU; Trish Barker, NCSA; Shandra Williams, PSC; Tim Dudek,UC; and Michael Schneider, PSC served on the communication committee. • Coverage in HPCWire and on TG’10 site: https://www.teragrid.org/web/events/tg10/hpcwire_coverage
Q310 Efforts • Preparation for NSF Science and Technology EXPO in Washington DC, October 22-24 • Preparation for Supercomputing’10 Conference, New Orleans, Louisiana—November 13-19 • Campus Champion Trading Cards Engagement Activity • 2010 Highlights delivered in time for the conference • SWAG PetaFlops
SC’10 Booth, New Orleans • Booth will reflect the “Future is now” theme presented in 2010 highlights
