  1. IT in the Labs and Classrooms: Becoming Pioneers Again Dr. Gerry McCartney Vice President for Information Technology and CIO Oesterle Professor of Information Technology December 9, 2010

  2. IT has become essential to the minute-by-minute operations of the University The observation ... • Universities still do much of their core business essentially the way they did 200 years ago But students acquire knowledge, and many faculty are researching, in new ways

  3. We’re a service organization with big responsibilities — cyberinfrastructure for classroom learning, course management, research, enterprise operations. The challenge ...

  4. Signals early intervention program • 12,634 students used Signals in 92 classes during academic year 2009-2010 • Licensed to SunGard Hotseat collaboration • 5,700 students used Hotseat in 15 courses • Annotate lectures, e-vote, comment or tag for learning in real time and asynchronously via Twitter, Facebook and SMS-enabled phones

  5. Mixable social network and content stream • 350 students used Mixable in 2 courses • Enables a social overlay students use to connect with Facebook friends in their courses DoubleTake • 170 students used DoubleTake in 1 course • Captures video, encodes video using the Condor pool and streams back for classroom or lab activities

  6. HUBzero™ platform for scientific collaboration • 25 hubs at Purdue, 6 at other institutions, supporting 450,000+ users annually • First international workshop in April 2010 drew 102 attendees from 29 institutions in the U.S., Canada, South Africa and Korea • HUBzero open source released in April 2010 • Originally developed to power nanoHUB.org, the underlying technology now links researchers in medicine, earthquake-resistant buildings and bridges, environmental modeling and more

  7. 3 community clusters in TOP500 • Rossmann: 9,264 cores, installed Sept. 2010, ranks 126th in 2010 • 27 faculty, 13 departments • Coates: 8,032 cores, installed July 2009, ranks 147th in 2010 • 81 faculty, 25 departments, 632 users • Steele: 7,216 cores, installed May 2008, listed among Top500 in 2008 and 2009 • 62 faculty, 18 departments, 359 users

  8. 3 community clusters in TOP500 • 95 individual faculty members have invested in Rossmann, Coates and Steele • 17 have bought into more than 1 of the clusters • 5 have bought into all 3 clusters

  9. Coates/Rossmann clusters place Purdue 5th among academic institutions based on peak performance offered

  10. DiaGrid Partnership • 37,000 cores • 280+ teraflops of peak capacity • Indiana State University • Indiana University • University of Louisville • University of Nebraska • University of Notre Dame • University of Wisconsin • Purdue Calumet, Purdue North Central and Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne • Largest federated, geographically distributed Condor pool • Partners:

  11. Research computing by faculty 124% average annual growth on the number of computational hours used by Purdue faculty Remote sensing

  12. Cluster distribution by department

  13. 22% of PI’s used HPC in 2008

  14. 24.6% of PI’s used HPC in 2009

  15. 39.5% of PI’s used HPC in 2010

  16. Strategic Change the “rules of the game” in research and learning: Clusters, HUBzero, Signals, Mixable, Airplay Transformational Adapt the University’s management of information and operations to enable the strategic reallocation of resources Functional Implement efficiencies for reducing cost
