Panel: Building the NRP Ecosystem Dan Stanzione NATIONAL RESEARCH PLATFORM MEETING August 2018 2/21/2019

Stampede 2 Funded by NSF as a renewal of the original Stampede project. The largest XSEDE resource (and largest university-based system). Follow the legacy of success of the first machine as a supercomputer for a *broad* range of workloads, large and small. Install without ever having a break in service – in the same footprint.

TACC At a GLANCE Personnel 160 Staff (~70 PhD) Facilities 12 MW Data center capacity Two office buildings, Three Datacenters, two visualization facilities, and a chilling plant. Systems and Services ~35,000 users in ~3,000 projects on fifteen production platforms 200+ Data collections in 60+ PB Hikari 380V DC Green computing system parternship with NEDO and NTT. 10k Haswell cores. HVDC and Solar (partial) Support for container ecosystem HPC - Stampede-2, Lonestar 5, Hikari Data - Wrangler VIS/ML - Maverick Cloud/Interactive – Chameleon, Jetstream, Roundup Storage Stockyard, Corral, Ranch Experimental – Fabric, Catapult, etc. Talk a little about what we mean by BIG INNOVATIVE SYSTEMS Then, spend the rest of my time talking about how we are HELPING PEOPLE GO FAST Cloud systems weave all this together We also have testbed systems online or coming in next 6 mo Altera FPGA, POWER/NVIDIA, HP APOLLO powered by solar HVDC 2/21/2019

THE EVOLUTION OF A CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE Ten years ago, cyberinfrastructure was largely about building the hardware and networks to support large scale science. Today, it’s about new interfaces to support data analysis, collaboration and sharing,reproducibility as well as easy access to simulation 2/21/2019

Opportunities for NRP 2/21/2019

Opportunities for NRP Reproducibility, and the impact of data reuse, are sort of non- existent factors that we must improve upon. This doesn’t really require scale to make progress – - but does require integration to achieve. 2/21/2019

The role of National centers We focus, perhaps too much, on the physical infrastructure of the platform. The thing I can’t scale is “help down the hall”. The network is *necessary* to enable remote resources, collaboration, data-sharing, etc., but is not *sufficient*. A more tightly integrated collection of *people* will be key for NRP success, and future science. 2/21/2019
