2. 2 Part 1: We are in a period of unprecedented change in Science and Society…the crises & opportunities this creates

3. 3 3 Profound Transformation of Science Collision of Two Black Holes 1972: Hawking. 1 person, no computer 50 KB 1994: 10 people, NCSA Cray Y-MP, 50MB 1998: 15 people, NCSA Origin, 50GB

4. Community Einstein Toolkit “Einstein Toolkit : open software for astrophysics to enable new science, facilitate interdisciplinary research and use emerging petascale computers and advanced CI.”  Consortium: 92 members, 46 sites, 15 countries  Whole consortium engaged in directions, support, development  Simulation: Luciano Rezzolla, Max Planck Institut für Gravitationsphysik (AEI) 4 Community + software + algorithms + hardware + … Many groups can do this: field explodes! Major triumph of Computational Science---solve EEs!

5. New Frontiers: Relativistic Matter  Nuclear equations of state  Collab. with astrophysicists  General relativistic magnetohydrodynamics  Some groups have ideal MHD  Radiation Transport (neutrinos/photons)  Expensive and complicated!  Requires opacities/emissivities  Chemical reactions (thermonuclear, chemical)  SN community!  Computation:  Multiphysics!!  GRMHD: petascale problem  Radiation transport beyond this Schnetter et al, PetaScale Computing: Algorithms and Applications, 2007 Zoom in to just this part: post BH formation and evolution of jet Zoom in to just this part: post BH formation and evolution of jet

6. Schnetter, et al Post BH Formation/Evolution of Jet  Multiphysics  GR, Neutrinos, MHD, Nuclear EOS  Computer Science  10 level AMR, optimized for Blue Waters  Science  200s evolution, analyze it all  Blue Waters  6M Pflop@1PF sustained = 70days! 6 Multiphyiscs framework needed for fluids in astrophysics and porous media… Rezzolla, et al

7. 7 Theory and Observation of Universe  Gravitational Waves!  Complex problems in relativistic astrophysics  Relativity, hydrodynamics, nuclear physics, radiation, neutrinos, magnetic fields: globally distributed collab!  Observe (PB), compute (PF) signals  Gravity and general relativity are transformed  4 centuries of small science, small data culture  2-3 decades of radical change in both data (factors of 1000 per~5 years) and collaboration LIGO/VIRGO/GEO New era of science after a century! Data- and compute- dominated gravitational wave astronomy!

8. US Council on Competitiveness  Ping Golf  Moved from workstation to Cray, now make prototype only at last stage of design  Too effective: had to simulate “less effective” design!  Proctor & Gamble  Pringles “flying” off manufacturing line causing significant lost product and revenue. Using CFD codes that Boeing uses, airflow over the Pringle modeled, design so Pringles did not “lift off” 8

9. 9 Part 1a: The Growth of Data Data Tsunami “I’m still here…” But I’m your new baby big brother… With millions of processors…

10. Going Beyond a Community Transient & Multi-Messenger Astronomy 10  New era: seeing events as they occur  Here now  ALMA, EVLA in radio  Ice Cube neutrinos  On horizon  24-42m optical?  LSST = SDSS (40TB) every night!  SKA = exabytes  Simulations integrate all physics  Data-intensive = compute-intensive Astronomy 1500-2010 was passive. No longer! Communities need to share data, software, knowledge, in real time Will require integration across disciplines, end-to- end

11. Big Data vs The Long Tail of Science  Many “Big Data” projects are “special”  Tend to be highly organized, have singular sources of data, professionally curated, a lot attention paid to them  What about the “Long Tail” (the other 99%)?  Thousands of biologists sequencing communities of organisms  Thousands of chemist and materials scientists developing a “materials genome”  Millions of people “Tweeting”…  Characteristics: Heterogeneous, perhaps hand generated Not curated, reused, served, etc… 11 How do we harness the power of this long tail? News Flash! NYT 6/3/13: Drug side effects discovered by mining web logs: paroxetine + pravastatin = high blood sugar!

12. 12 Grand Challenge Communities Combine it All... Where is it going to go? 12 Same CI useful for black holes, hurricanes

13. 13 Grand Challenge Communities for Complex Problems  Require many disciplines, all scales of collaborations  Individuals, groups, teams, communities  Multiscale Collaborations: Beyond teams  Are dynamic and highly multidisciplinary  Time domain astronomy, emergency forecasting, metagenomincs, materials genome…  Drive sharing technologies and methodologies  Researchers collaborate, work by sharing data. Places requirements on eInfrastructre:  Software, networks, collaborative environments, data, sharing, computing, etc  Scientific culture, reproducibility, access, university structures  “Publications.” What is a modern publication? 13 Social, behavioral and economic sciences will be critical in helping us understand these issues…

14. Scenarios like this in all fields 14 NEON+GIS

15. Framing the Challenge: Science and Society Transformed by Data  Modern science  Data- and compute- intensive  Integrative, multiscale  4 centuries of constancy, 4 decades 10 9-12 change!  Multi-disciplinary Collaborations  Individuals (Galileo!)  Groups, teams, Grand Challenge Communities  Big Data + Long Tail  Sea of Data  Age of Observation 15 We still think like this… …But such radical change cannot be adequately addressed with (current) incremental approach! Students take note!

16. Part 2: Crises, Challenges, Opportunities Computing Data Software End-to-end Networks Organizational structures Education No, we are not… Cybe r Instruments & Facilities

17. 17 Five Crises “ CDSE” Community needs to address  Computing Technology  Multicore: processor is new transistor  Programming model, fault tolerance, etc  New models: clouds, grids, GPUs, …  Data, provenance, and visualization  How do we create “data scientists”?  What is an international data infrastructure?  Software treated as e-Infrastructure  Complex applications on coupled compute- data-networked environments, tools needed  Modern apps: 10 6 + lines, many groups contribute, take decades

18. 18 Five Crises  Organization for Multidisciplinary & Computational Science  “Universities must significantly change organizational structures: multidisciplinary & collaborative research are needed [for US] to remain competitive in global science”  “Itself a discipline, computational science advances all science…inadequate/outmoded structures within Federal government and the academy do not effectively support this critical multidisciplinary field”  Education  The CI environment is running away from us!  How do we develop a workforce to work effectively in this world?  How do universities transition?

19. Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute, University of Utah Data Crisis: Information Big Bang PCAST Digital Data NSF Experts Study Wired, Nature Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) 100 Year Archive Requirements Survey Report “there is a pending crisis in archiving… we have to create long-term methods for preserving information, for making it available for analysis in the future.” 80% respondents: >50 yrs; 68% > 100 yrs Industry

20. The Shift Towards a “Sea of Data” Implications  Science & society are now data-dominated  Experiment, computation, theory  US mobile phone traffic exceeded 1 exabyte!  Classes of data  Collections, observations, experiments, simulations  Software  Publications  Totally new methodologies  Algorithms, mathematics, culture  Data become the medium for  Multidisciplinarity, communication, publication, science, economic development… 20 How do we attribute credit for this new publication form? How are data peer reviewed? What is a publication in the modern data-rich world? What is a business model for OA? Fundamental questions become focused around data: What to curate, how to remove boundaries? How to incentivize sharing? IP?
