3 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY Rationale for a Fellows Program Lack of a system of rewards encouraging time-consuming curriculum innovations Low awareness of faculty and students about available computational science tools Absence of a support network for computational science and high- performance computing

4 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY What is …? What is Computational Science? What is High-Performance Computing? What is Modeling and Simulation? What is Visualization?

5 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY What is Computational Science? Science Discipline Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc. Computer Science Hardware/Software Applied Mathematics Numerical Analysis, Modeling, Simulation

6 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY What is Computational Science? Science Discipline Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc. Computer Science Hardware/Software Applied Mathematics Numerical Analysis, Modeling, Simulation Computational Science Teamwork and Collaboration

7 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY What is Computational Science?

8 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY What is Computational Science?

9 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY Usually, Computational Science Involves One or More of... Modeling Simulation Visualization Large amounts of (different kinds of) data

10 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY...Like World-Building Skyline TerraExplorer http://www.skylinesoft.com/ Virtual Los Angeles http://www.aud.ucla.edu/bill/LA.html The Digital Earth http://www.digitalearth.gov/ Fly San Diego http://flysd.sdsc.edu/ I-cubed http://www.i3.com/produc ts/CityModels/3d_models. htm

11 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY My Own World

12 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY What is High-Performance Computing? Massively parallel systems Commodity Clusters High-speed Communication Data-Intensive Computing Never-ending demand for increasing performance –Giga -> Tera -> Peta -> ??

13 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY What is Modeling and Simulation? Empirical vs. Theoretical Data-driven vs. Equation-driven Rigged Animation Rigorous, Testable, Predictable

14 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY hat is Visualization?

15 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY This is Your Brain This is Your Visual System Photic Chauvinism Are we perhaps neglecting something?

16 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY Perceptualization

17 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY Who is Doing Computational Science? NPACI is The ‘National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure’ –http://www.npaci.edu/ NPACI is a partnership of over 40 institutions in the US and more worldwide –http://www.npaci.edu/Partners/

18 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY NPACI/NCSA/Alliance Partnerships are NSF Programs The EdCenter works closely with: NPACI (http://www.npaci.edu/ San Diego Supercomputer Center (http://www.sdsc.edu/) NCSA Alliance (http://www.ncsa.edu/)

19 EDUCAUSE 2001 - AN EDU ODYSSEY EDUCATION, OUTREACH, AND TRAINING 4 APPLICATIONS Molecular Science Neuroscience Earth Systems Science Engineering 4 TECHNOLOGIES Metasystems Programming Tools and Environments Data-intensive Computing Interaction Environments RESOURCES NPACI Partnership Organizing Principle: “Thrusts”
