IBM Deep Computing Solutions IBM Public Sector Business 4 © 2011 IBM Corporation Some Economic Objectives of Thailand (my observations) Rebuild and expand the infrastructure of Thailand to attract new industrial partners (logistics, supply chain) Provide technology companies a reason to locate and stay in Thailand as a driver of high value business (design, crash modeling). Water management end to end– from fine-grained forecasting to measurement (forecasting, sensor data) Sugar cane, and crop bio-engineering for greater crop yields. Should HPC align with the Economic Development of the Government?

5. IBM Deep Computing Solutions IBM Public Sector Business 5 © 2011 IBM Corporation A Working Example of Partnership that has been formed with the UK Business Innovation and Skill and the Daresbury Labs, UK On the 13th July 2011, David Willetts, Minister of State for Universities and Science, invited academics, industrialists, hardware and software suppliers and experts from the Research Councils to discuss the establishment of an e- infrastructure for the UK. That meeting confirmed that we are experiencing a paradigm shift in which the scientific process and innovation are beginning in the virtual world of modelling and simulation before moving to the real world. From there, a study was conducted, A Strategic Vision for UK e-Infrastructure (IBM has seen the move from HPC to Technical Computing, sometimes referred to as Data Driven, Big Data……)

6. IBM Deep Computing Solutions IBM Public Sector Business 6 © 2011 IBM Corporation David Willets– Strategic Vision for UK e-Infrastructure Recommendations: 1.Agree to the costed, ten year roadmap to achieve an …e- infrastructure and …to extend the infra-structure beyond the public sector. Use the recently announced capital spend of £145M (2011- 2012). 2.Drive the development of software for all of the partners in the e- infrastructure 3.Embed e-science training in successful Doctoral Training Centres. Use these modules to offer training to industry. 4.Set up a single coordinating body that owns this Strategy

12. IBM Deep Computing Solutions IBM Public Sector Business 12 © 2011 IBM Corporation Summary: Why an Economic Development project in Thailand might consider IBM as a partner ….. Economic development is aligned with IBM Corporate Strategy (Smarter Planet) Unparalleled Leadership in High Performance Computing Industry’s largest R&D investment in HPC and its exploitation Firm commitment to developing Exascale hardware and software solutions Sustained relations with selected leadership HPC Labs world wide Demonstrated successful long term relationships  IBM Can provide Thailand the industrial reach and experience needed  Committed to deep collaborations  Has the size and reach to make a difference in economic terms

13. IBM Deep Computing Solutions IBM Public Sector Business 13 © 2011 IBM Corporation Are you ready to work with industry?  Minister for Universities and Science David Willetts said: “This new cutting edge research centre will bring together experts from the science and business worlds. It will be vital in realising the Government’s ambition for the UK to be a world leader in high performance computing and will provide industry and academia with the tools needed to drive growth and innovation. It will also build on the strengths of the Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus - which recently became an Enterprise Zone - and shows that our £145 million investment in e-infrastructure is attracting international companies to the UK.”
