  4. National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST’s mission is to develop and promote measurement, standards, and technology to enhance productivity, facilitate trade, and improve the quality of life. NIST Assets Include: • 3,000 employees • 1,800 associates • $773 million FY 2004 operating budget • NIST Laboratories -- National measurement standards • Advanced Technology Program • Manufacturing Extension Partnership • Baldrige National Quality Award

  5. World Renowned Scientists and Engineers Bill Phillips 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics Gregory Linteris Flew 2 Space Shuttle Missions Johanna Sengers 2003 Women in Science Award and NAS Member Deborah S. Jin 2003 MacArthur Fellowship ‘Genius Grant’ John Cahn 1998 National Medal of Science Eric Cornell 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics

  7. AML ACSL NCNR Unique NIST Measurement and Research Facilities Advanced Measurement Laboratory -- 2004 Advanced Chemical Sciences Laboratory NIST Center for Neutron Research

  8. Strong Relationships with Academia • Manufacturing Extension Partnership • 155 community colleges • 50 technical colleges • 215 universities • Baldrige Quality Program • University representatives serve on Baldrige judges panel and Board of Overseers • Over 17% of Baldrige examiners are from higher education institutions • Baldrige Award Education category added 1999 • Advanced Technology Program • Over 600 university participants • Over 160 different universities • NIST Laboratories • Joint institutes • Guest researchers, users • Extensive collaboration

  9. Strategic Focus Areas NIST 2010 • Biosystems & Health • Nanotechnology • Homeland Security • Information / Knowledge Management

  10. Scientific Computing at NIST Within the NIST scientific community there is an ever accelerating demand for increased IT capabilities. IT is used increasingly to design and conduct experiments and to extend/enhance measurement methods. Through use of IT NIST scientists continue to increase their capabilities to manage, mine, analyze, and visualize the ever growing amounts of experimental data they collect.

  11. Scientific Computing at NIST • Soliciting future requirements for “computing power” • Considering external alternatives for high end computing • Providing general access systems in Central Computing Facility (CCF) • Supporting individual OUs dedicated cluster systems • Allowing OU Directors to set priorities for use of Scientific Computing
