Presentation Transcript

  1. Definition of Computational Science Computational science is a rapidly growing multidisciplinary field that uses advanced computing capabilities to understand and solve complex problems. • Three distinct elements: • Driven by the underlying science/engineering/humanities problems; • Solve the problems through simulations; • Using advanced computing technologies systems and infrastructure; Computational Science for NRMD. Wang

  2. Working Procedure Complex problems Scientists /Engineers Build system or conceptual models Computability /Capability Computer models (machine-understandable formats) Computational Scientists Best/feasible solutions Understandable/Usable Scientists /Engineers Model results Computational Science for NRMD. Wang

  3. Requirements and potentials Basic knowledge requirements • Underlying sciences/engineering • Mathematical modeling • Computer science Advantages and limitations • Need multidisciplinary collaborations Computational Science for NRMD. Wang

  4. Frontiers and Challenges (1) Existing problems in natural resource management A general framework or template for a variety of problems? • Dr. Gross’s talk Computational Science for NRMD. Wang

  5. Computing, computing Some fundamental computing terminologies Computer architecture Operating Systems Networking Date structures Programming languages Algorithms Advanced computing paradigms Distributed computing Parallel computing Grid computing & Internet Computing Computational Science for NRMD. Wang

  6. Frontiers and Challenges (2) Model characteristics Population (aggregated) model Individual based model Spatial explicit model Model integrations Multi-species model Model integrations Ecosystem modeling (multimodeling) Computational Science for NRMD. Wang

  7. Frontiers and Challenges (3) Model analysis Statistical model Information retrieval (data mining) Model result representation Date visualization / Data mapping (GIS) Date archive (Long term data, etc) Date standardization (NBII, metadata) Computational Science for NRMD. Wang

  8. Hey, I am a CS guy Something Interesting HPC (solve a large scale problem in a second?) Information sharing (Everyone in the world should see my results !!!) Information analysis (now I am sure I will not run into a black bear if I camp here!) Computational Science for NRMD. Wang
