Organization & Management Model for FCP Center. Goals [From previous session] (Why?).
E N D
Goals [From previous session] (Why?) Vision — The Center for Sustainable Software on Future Computing Platforms will provide scientific communities the means to leverage future platforms’ potential to transform research and gain key insights into data-intensive grand challenge problems.
Scope (What?) • Software CI Priorities • Research • Development • Integration (Domain & Tech) • Outreach & Education (Domain, Tech & Industry) • Domain Application Support • Bio/NGS. Social? Security? • High risk/reward vs. Bread & Butter Applications • Lifespan • Software curation, Usecase definition, Commnity Adoption & Acceleration, Broader Engagement, Research Directions
Activities (How?) • Research • Upcoming Future Compute platforms • Emerging software, algorithms • Benchmarks & Evaluation • Software Sustainability • Software Repository • Framework, Libraries & Kernels • Software Lifecyle • Documentation & Training • Domain Integration • Embed s/w devs with domains • Domain visitors to center • Short “Tiger teams”, Long term • Cross-site student internships • Ad hoc interactions, virtual experts • Collaboration & Education • Other NSF Institutes, SSE, SSI • Tech Industry, Small Business, Incubators • International engagement • Workshops, Tutorials, Documentation
Organization Structure • Physical vs. Virtual Center • Physical: Dedicated space, resources , fulltime software & admin staff, rotating visitors • Virtual: ??? • Structure (“Tower, Hub & Spoke, Tire Models”) • Partition across technology areas? • Across domains? • Across priorities (Research, Development, Integration, Outreach)? • Governance • Director • Thrust Leaders on Tech/Domain Areas • Executive Board • Advisory Board
Resources • Resource Use • Admin and R&D Staff • Hardware Resources: • Engagement: Workshops, Local & Intl’ visitor travel, internships • Funding Model • NSF to Center • Other NSF SSE/SSI • Other NSF Projects, Domain • Industry
Metrics of Sustainability • Sustainability of Software • Software quality metrics • Software (re)use by community • Access to FCP resources • Ability to solve challenge problems • Sustainability of Center • Funding beyond Lifespan • Sustaining an FCP research and use community • Access to FCP resources
