Data-Driven Multiscale Collaborations* for ComplexityGreat Challenges of 21st Century
Multiscale Collaborations• General Relativity, Particles,
Geosciences, Bio, Social...• And all combinations...
Science and Society being transformed by CI and Data• Completely new methodologies• “The End of Science” (as we
know it) CI plays central role
• No community can attack challenges
• Technical, CS, social issues to solve
Places requirements on computing, software, networks, tools, etc *Small groups still
important!
Crises We Face Computing Technology: SC last 4
yrs Multicore: processor is new
transistor Programming model, fault
tolerance, etc New models: clouds, grids Generate PBs of data!
Software Complex applications, tools needed Modern apps: 106+ lines, take
decades Collaboration
“Computational science serves to advance all of science......inadequate and outmoded structures within the Federal government and the academy today do not effectively support this critical multidisciplinary field”

What about Campuses? Next generation science requires
huge data to be manipulated, retrieved, stored, analyzed
Collaborative environments will need unprecedented levels of sophisticationCan barely do low-end video
conferencing today! HD, Optiportal-level environments needed
We need to seriously rethink our campus environments and how they can support new data-driven modalities of research, collaboration, education
iHDTV: 1500 Mbits/sec Calit2 to UW Research Channel Over NLR/CENIC/PW
DNA sequencers generate TeraBytes of Data
Federated Identity Management
It is a nightmare to navigate the many logins and passwords we live withA huge barrier to campus integration
It is also insecure! There are solutions under development We need to see if we can adopt a
standard mechanismNSF, TeraGrid, and many universities and
organizations have joined InCommonNIH has adopted it!
FY09/Stimulus Package Update $3B stimulus package for NSF
On top of ~$7B FY09 annual budget General NSF priorities
“$2B+ in unfunded excellence”• Focus on in-house proposals, standard research grants
of 2-5 year duration; increase success rate to 30%• Young investigators; CAREER, transformative,
excellence
OCI: $80M stimulus funds Jumpstart new activities in software, LWD,
applications Career awards, GRF, PetaApps, STCI
OIA: MRI-R2 and ARI-R2 special opportunities for campus investments in CI: $200M each
New Programs Provide Opportunities for Campuses
ARI-R2: $200M Can be used to address campus research
infrastructure, e.g., network infrastructure MRI-R2: $200M
“Supporting advances in supercomputing technology”
Awards up to $6M NTIA/RUS: $7.2B for broadband
NSF is working with these groups to help develop activities where universities can serve as community anchors, hubs of innovation
