  1. Status Report: Cyberinfrastructure Strategic Planning Activities BIO Advisory Committee November 17, 2005 Manfred Zorn, Chris Greer, Liz Blood, Sally O’Connor

  2. Recent Events • Office of Cyberinfrastructure established • Cyberinfrastructure Council established • Advisory Committee for Cyberinfrastructure • Agency-wide Strategic Planning Process Underway • Search for Office Director – position posted

  3. CI Strategic Planning CI “Vision” document • Ch. 1: Call to Action • Ch. 2: Strategic Plan for High Performance Computing • Ch. 3: Strategic Plan for Data, Data Analysis & Visualization • Ch. 4: Strategic Plan for Collaboration, Communication & • Remote Access • Ch. 5: Strategic Plan for Education & Workforce Development

  4. Charge to HPC Team Draft plan for 5-year strategy • to enable petascale science and engineering through the deployment and support of a world-class HPC environment comprising the most capable combination of HPC assets available to the academic community.

  5. Draft HPC Plan • Specification, Acquisition, Deployment and Operation of Science-Driven HPC Systems Architectures • Development and Maintenance of Supporting Software: New Design Tools, Performance Modeling Tools, Systems Software, and Fundamental Algorithms. • Development and Maintenance of Portable, Scalable Applications Software Released September 26, 2005

  6. HPC Team Progress Initial Hardware Acquisition • High Performance Computing System Acquisition: Towards a Petascale Computing Environment for Science and EngineeringNSF 05-625Posted September 27, 2005

  7. Current HPC Team Members Abhi Deshmukh (ENG) Manfred Zorn (BIO)FrankScioli (SBE) DebasishDutta (EHR) VladimirPapitashvili (OPP)Clifford Jacobs (GEO)Almadena Chtchelkanova(CISE) Celeste Rohlfing (MPS)Stephen Meacham (OCI) Jose Muñoz (OCI) Ex officio Deb Crawford (OCI)

  8. Continuing efforts of HPC Team • Continue developing details of the HPC requirements in the various domains • Develop process to pick a representative set of six or seven application benchmarks for the FY07 HPC acquisition • Other HPC issues: • catalyze the development of new HPC codes • transform existing approaches using algorithms better suited to the new types of HPC systems

  9. BIO HPC efforts • Define BIO continuum of HPC needs • Match BIO applications to HPC architecture • Develop strategies to overcome barriers • Sociological barriers, e.g, data ownership • Technical barriers, e.g., data formats, metadata • Other HPC issues: • catalyze the development of new HPC codes • transform existing approaches using algorithms better suited to the new types of HPC systems

  10. Charge to Data Team Develop a 5-year strategy that: • Provides data resources, tools, and services • Considers NSF portfolio • Promotes interoperability and collaboration • Promotes interagency partnerships • Defines a comprehensive programmatic and policy framework

  11. Data Team Members Jim French (CISE) Chris Greer (BIO) Fillia Makedon (OCI) Dan Newlon (SBE) Nigel Sharp (MPS) Sylvia Spengler (CISE) Ex officio Deb Crawford (OCI) David Lightfoot (SBE)

  12. Data Team Timeline • Aug. 2, 2005 Organizational meeting • Sep. 6 Outline to CI Council • Sep./Oct. Directorate input • Nov. Full draft of strategic plan • Jan., 2006 Comments on strategic plan, Draft implementation plan

  13. Data Team – Emerging Themes Vision: The National Science Foundation envisions a cyberinfrastructure universe in which data are routinely deposited in convenient locations, are regularly and easily consulted in well-documented form by specialists and non-specialists alike, are openly accessible while suitably protected, and are reliably preserved.

  14. Data Team – Emerging Themes Strategy: Working in partnership with the community and with other US and international agencies and organizations, NSF will promote the development of a system of digital data collections that is as robust as that that exists now for preservation of information in the print realm. .

  15. Charge to COVO Team Develop 5-year strategy that: • identifies the unique scientific opportunities afforded by collaboratories, observatories and virtual organizations (COVO), • describes the resources, tools and services to enable functionally-complete knowledge environments that are highly-interactive, widely accessible, and easily usable; • identifies opportunities to realize economies of scale and scope; • promotes interoperability and federalization; • promotes an effective, inclusive community governance strategy; • encourages strong partnerships among NSF directorates; • leverages investments made by other federal agencies and organizations, including the private sector; and • defines a flexible programmatic and policy framework

  16. COVO Team Members Art Goldstein (GEO) Liz Blood (BIO) Bonnine Thompson (INT) Tom Baerwald (SBE) Randy Ruchti (MPS) Chuck Baudin (MPS) Kevin Thompson* (OCI) Joy Pauschke* (ENG) Ex officio Deb Crawford (OCI) Michael Turner (MPS)

  17. COVO Team Timeline • Oct. 19, 2005 Organizational meeting • Nov. 14 Outline to CI Council • Nov./Dec. Directorate input • Dec 30 Full draft of strategic plan • Feb 3, 2006 Comments on strategic plan, Draft implementation plan

  18. COVO Team – Emerging Themes • Draft outline complete – pending CI Council approval • Vision • Guiding Principles • Strategies

  19. Learning & Workforce Development(LWD Team) • Team is now being formed, short timeline anticipated • Ex Officio: Jim Collins (BIO), Deb Crawford (OCI) • Sally O’Connor (BIO) will participate • Other team members are being confirmed

  20. Draft Charge to LWD Team Prepare a five-year strategic plan that: • Identifies CI-enabled opportunities in learning and workforce development • Ensures that current and future generations of scientists and engineers have the necessary competencies • Describes the resources, tools and services for community-developed learning environments

  21. Draft Charge to LWD Team (cont’d) • Encourages strong partnerships among NSF directorates • Leverages investments made by other agencies and the private sector • Defines a flexible programmatic and policy framework for prioritizing and managing investments.

  22. “Loosely Coupled” “Massively Parallel” Challenges on Different Architectures 1 10 100 1000 Whole genome protein threading Population-based whole cell model Genome Assembly Molecular dynamics of protein machine Physics-based protein folding Stochastic metabolic / regulatory network Genome Annotation Small ODE Metabolic network
