Jerry Draayer, SURA President

Board of Trustees Meeting

November 4 & 5, 2004

University of Arkansas, Fayetteville

Somewhere,

something incredible

is waiting to be known.

Jefferson Laboratory (JLab) Strong Science Program -

12 GeV Upgrade - CD0 ‘Signed’ on 4/1/2004

Chief Scientist, Tony Thomas on JLab Team

FEL Deemed a ‘Significant Facility’ by DOE

SURA / JLab Challenges -

DOE Competition of the JLab Contract

Improvement of JLab’s Safety Record

Near (FY05/06) & Long Term Support

JLab - A Going / Growing ‘Concern’

• Fully operational DOE particle accelerator

• Cutting-edge basic nuclear physics research

• 6 GeV electron accelerator (12 GeV coming!)

• ~$100 million annual budget, ~700 employees

• ~1200 scientists/year, ~70% SURA members

• Most powerful FEL in world / DoD supported

• Possible US Center for SRF / ERL technology

IT Program Highlights

SURA-AT&T GridFiber Deployments in Progress

NLR, LONI, LEARN, NERO, PNWGP

Atlantic Wave Initiative

Regional HPC/Grid Planning Effort

NMI Testbed and Testbed Grid

SGA engagement and renewed e-corridors resolution

Grids Tech Workshop Jan ’05 with industry sponsors

Originally Planned NLR National FootprintOriginally Planned NLR National Footprint

AT&T Fiber

SURA - NLR Collaboration UpdateThe April ‘04 resolution of the SURA Board, our access to AT&T dark fiber and the continuing efforts of SURA and the SURA IT community have resulted in the reshaping of the National LambdaRail in a way that is very advantageous to the SURA region and to the nation as a whole.

SURA’s work with Louisiana (LONI) and Oklahoma (OneNet) has resulted in these states’ participation as full members of the National LambdaRail, increasing the number of SURA states with NLR nodes to 7.
