You were promised … Milwaukee Institute • The Milwaukee Institute has proposed a dramatic expansion of the region’s capacity for high-performance computing, high speed data transport and mass data storage. • The Institute believes the region’s ability to handle the electronic data needed for the research and development activities of major academic institutions is essential for economic growth and job creation. • The Institute has developed the elements of a comprehensive network, including data centers, shared computational resources and more.
Global economic expansion and job growth are being propelled by technological change that is unstoppable. • Real estate development initiatives now being emphasized by local leaders will not change the outcome in the fight for jobs. • Lack of technology development agenda is the core problem that needs to be addressed now, before its too late. Understanding the Situation
Understanding the Problem Wisconsin % GDP
Increasing Productivity Pace of change has accelerated since 2000!
Skill Levels Rising Everywhere In 2012 we estimate that the US workforce has shifted further up!
Re-Inventing Manufacturing • Unskilled labor has declining value in the modern world of advanced manufacturing. • Access to skilled knowledge workers is the key to success in manufacturing of the future. • Working knowledge of science, mathematics and information technology will be essential.
No IT…No Advanced Mfg! Tightly Coupled --U.S Council On Competitiveness June, 2010
(% Share of US Employment) IT, Health Care, Retail, Logistics, Transportation Private Services Manufacturing Agriculture YEAR Not Only Manufacturing IT workers
Workforce Study Findings • IT workers are largest, single cohort of knowledge workers by type in the region. • The population of IT workers is the fastest growing cohort of workers and the rate of growth is accelerating. • IT workers have average salaries that are more than twice the average salaries in the region. • IT workers are statistically invisible because they are counted as employee across all industry and service sectors of the economy.

Technology Causes Change Age of Information & Space Civilization moves in big jumps based on widespread adoption of new technology! Electronics, computers, fiber optics, molecular genetics, internet, and space travel Age of Re-Industrialization Age of Industrialization Steelmaking, railroads, electricity, oil refining, chemicals, refrigeration, engines, cars, explosives, radio, telephone and television Age of Urbanization Plumbing, pulleys, levels, screws, gears, architecture and medicines Masonry, waterworks, metalworking, printing, woodworking, weaving Age of Domestication Wheels, boats, agriculture, ropes and rudimentary fabrics, art and mathematics. Bronze Age Mining, metals tools, vessels weapons, sleds Stone Age Natural tools, pottery weapons & clothing
Embracing the Solution • At the Milwaukee Institute we believe that… • We must invest in high tech infrastructure. • We must promote the formation of industry clusters that focus on a shared technology research agenda. • We must inspire efforts to apply new science and technology to solving “grand challenge” problems. • We must focus on the “next gen” workforce to make it happen.

Milwaukee Institute Why do this now?
Modern Technology 2. It is a collection of related research and development efforts... 1. It is about the Microcosm. InfoTech 3. …that attempt to mimic, interpret and predict the behavior of very small things. BioTech NanoTech 4. It is the foundational knowledge of allhigh techproductsand services.
Information Technology InfoTech 2. It enables and accelerates the other technological innovation. 1. First among equals! 3. It is increasing high-performance—not just fast, but super fast! BioTech NanoTech Knowledge Gap! 4. Modern IT enable us to use of modeling and simulationto solve enormously complex problems that were previously unsolvable.
Rise of Technical Computing • Increasing CPU speed and lower cost per cycle has made it possible to process increasingly complex and larger data sets than ever before. • The scientific method can now be applied in reverse by using computers to analyze enormous amounts of data in ways that produce new science. CPU Speed • The explosion of digital data requires massively parallel processing systems that in themselves create new ways of thinking about information. • Technical computing makes it possible to formulate large scale models to answer questions that in the past would have been inconceivable. Data Sets
Why Technical Computing? Reality is not what it appears to be. • Real world is not a simple, linear system. • Real world inputs are often disproportionate to outputs. • Real world has systems we don’t fully understand, such as phase changes, e.g., solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. • Real world systems have limits and tipping points.
