Cyberinfrastructure • Resources • High-performance Computers • Data -- storage and collections • Instruments • Glue • High-speed networks • Middleware • Operational Coordination
Strategic Plan for High Performance Computing • Covers 2006-2010 period • Enable petascale science and engineering by creating a world-class HPC environment • Science-driven HPC Systems Architectures • Portable Scalable Applications Software • Supporting Software • Inter-agency synergies will be sought
TeraGrid: One Component • Resources • 30+ teraflops • 1+ PBytes storage • Spallation Neutron Source • Purdue Terrestrial Observatory • Glue • Grid software • 10-30 Gb/s network capacity • Flexible allocations • Security and other operations adapted from Charlie Catlett
Education & Training Cyberinfrastructure Components Collaboration & Communication Tools & Services Data Tools & Services High Performance Computing Tools & Services
Needed State/Campus Investments • Ensuring high-capacity CENIC at campus, metro, and state levels • Manage uncertainty and turmoil in network engineering (e.g., packets vs circuits) • Designing campus clusters to strengthen capacity, flexibility, and synergy with TeraGrid and Open Science Grid • Themes: Scalable Performance and Security
Cyberinfrastructure Vision NSF will lead the development and support of a comprehensive cyberinfrastructure essential to 21st century advances in science and engineering.
