  1. Computational Science Challenges for the Beginning of the 21st Century Infrastructure, Research, Academic Programs Peter Arzberger NPACI/SDSC Executive Director parzberg@npaci.edu 619-534-5079

  2. This Is a Time of Great Opportunity Digital information explodes HPCC Technologies advance Bandwidth increases Collaborative multidisciplinary activities increase

  3. Continuing Evolution: Based on SDSC NPACI NPACI SDSC Resources Resources Education Outreach & Training Enabling technologies Technology & applications thrusts Applications Individuals Partners 1985 1998-2000

  4. NPACI Is Building a National Infrastructure to Benefit the Entire Academic Research Community • Creating a ubiquitous, continuous, pervasive HPCC infrastructure • Looking ahead to multi-tera-scale compute platforms • Accelerating data-intensive computing • Broadening impact of computational science and engineering • Leveraging PACI investments

  5. NPACI Is Highly Leveraged National “Partnership of Partnerships” 47 institutions, up from 37 20 states, up from 18 4 countries, up from 1 5 national labs Many projects (new and old) Vendors and industry Government agencies

  6. Partnership Organizing Principle: “Thrusts” EDUCATION, OUTREACH, AND TRAINING 4 TECHNOLOGIES Metasystems Programming Tools and Environments Data-intensive Computing Interaction Environments 4 APPLICATIONS Molecular Science Neuroscience Earth Systems Science Engineering RESOURCES

  7. Advancing the Computational Infrastructure • Resources -- Today’s Digital Laboratory • High-performance computing available today to the academic community • Develop and Deploy • Technology and application collaborations to push the capabilities of tomorrow’s digital laboratory • Use and Apply • Computational scientists applying enhanced capabilities to achieve new scientific results • Disseminate and Incorporate • Incorporating technologies into the digital laboratory and disseminating them for use in new communities

  8. Technology Thrusts Metasystems Programming Tools and Environments Data-Intensive Computing Interaction Environments

  9. Applications Thrusts Molecular Science Neuroscience Earth Systems Science Engineering

  10. Projects Meld Applications and Technology Brain databases Data-IntensiveComputing+Neuroscience Global climate modeling Metasystems+Earth SystemsScience

  11. Education, Outreach, and Training • Women, minorities, and new communities • Curriculum development • External evaluation • Leveraging and linking current partner activities • Replicating successful programs across NPACI and other partnerships
