  1. NSF HPC Task Force Report Summary Presented to theTeraGrid Scientific Advisory Board Thomas ZachariaUniversity of TennesseeOak Ridge National Laboratory Jim KinterCenter for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies Richard LoftNational Center for Atmospheric Research Arlington, Virginia20 January 2011

  2. HPC Task Force:Membership

  3. HPC Task Force: Charter • Provide specific advice on the broad portfolio of HPC investments that NSF should consider • Time span: 5–10 years • Scope: • Cyberinfrastructure to support research • Research on cyberinfrastructure (hardware and software) • Training

  4. HPC Task Force: Activities • 3 community workshops (Arlington, Virginia): University, industry, and government participants • Sustainability and User Requirements, 4 December 2009 • Applications at the Exascale, 29 July 2010 • Broader Engagement, 3 December 2010 • Community input solicited • Presentations, reports, and position papers posted:http://www.nics.tennessee.edu/workshop

  5. Sustainability and User Requirements Workshop: 4 December 2009 38 attendees

  6. Sustainability and User Requirements:Recommendations for NSF

  7. Applications at the Exascale Workshop: 29 July 2010 44 attendees

  8. Applications at the exascale:Recommendations for NSF • Expand partnerships with industry, academia, and other agencies to accelerate development of exascale systems and applications • Co-design will be critical in development of applications that can deliver predictive capability • Expand efforts to engage new user communities in HPC • Focused outreach program to industry • Engagement of data-intensive fields of research • Provide a funding framework for co-location of archive and community data resources with compute and visualization resources • Establish a continuing process for soliciting community input on plans for HPC investments

  9. Broader Engagement Workshop: 3 December 2010 41 attendees

  10. Broader Engagement:Preliminary recommendations to NSF • Continue and grow education, outreach, and training programs to expand awareness and encourage use of high-end modeling and simulation capabilities • Industry • New user communities • Expanded workforce development programs, starting with K–12 • Measure program impacts • Expansion in use of HPC • Delivery of science • Consider establishment of a computational science program or division

  11. HPC Taskforce:Summary recommendations to NSF • Develop asustainablemodel to provide the academic research community with access, by 2015–2016, to a rich mix of HPC systems that: • Deliver sustained performance of 20–100 petaflops on a broad range of science and engineering applications • Are integrated into a balanced, comprehensive, national cyberinfrastructure environment • Are supported at national, regional, and/or campus levels • Invest now to prepare for exascale systems that will be available by 2018–2020 • Co-design partnerships • Data cyberinfrastructure(networking, disk, and storage) for data-driven science • Broaden outreach to include industry and new user communities • Establish a continuing process for soliciting community input on plans for HPC investments

  12. Questions & Discussion
