3. I-Light as a foundation for collaboration Research Education Collaboration Enhancing Indiana

4. Gary West Lafayette Indianapolis Bloomington Resources – connected or not?

5. Linked computational resources The I-light network has been used in a Purdue- led simulation of the Sept 11 crash of a jet into the Pentagon Global Grid - HPC Challenge award at the SuperComputing 2003 conference Support for Center for Computational Homeland Security Ongoing cycle sharing agreement © Trustees Purdue University

6. Aggregated Data Resources Purdue Terrestrial Observatory (and IU GIS data) Life Sciences Data Crystallography © Trustees Purdue University

7. TeraGrid The I-light network is the infrastructure on which Indiana and Purdue Universities became a part of the NSF- funded TeraGrid. Indiana and Purdue have together brought ~$15M of funding into the State in support of TeraGrid activities Collaborative development of new computer technologies and delivery of new scientific innovations

8. Enabling Science: Collaborative Initiative on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Early diagnosis is important, difficult International research consortium storing data at Indiana University – duplicate copies in Bloomington and Indianapolis enabled by I-light Collaborations between IUSM, UITS, and Purdue School of Science developing new diagnostic tools leading to earlier diagnosis and better interventions

9. Enabling Science: Indiana Center for Insect Genomics A 3-way collaboration among –The Center for Tropical Disease Research and Training – Notre Dame –The Department of Entomology – Purdue –The Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics – IU Bloomington 21st Century Center of Excellence award Study economically important insects Will use Purdue & Indiana University cyberinfrastructure

10. HOMELAND SECURITY AND DEFENSE SIMULATIONS Goals Develop large scale virtual environment simulations for several disaster scenarios Use these virtual simulations to evaluate, validate, and improve the decision making processes and response Study different scenarios and prevention measures, coordinated control system of different response groups Simulation of different combat scenarios © Trustees Purdue University

11. Support - seed money, integration with VPR led environmental initiative and project oversight by CIO office Leadership - led by IT staff member (Dr. Gilbert Rochon) who holds appointments in Earth & Atmospheric Sciences and Agronomy. Initial effort - 35 faculty/20 academic departments Applications include: Precision Farming; Homeland Security; Disaster Intervention; Forestry & Ecology; Urban Planning; Epidemiology; Oceanography; Industrial Development; and Geology & Mineralogy Capability - Multiple data-stream sources including orbiting panchromatic, radar, and multi-spectral and hyperspectral sensors Operational – Spring 2005 Purdue Terrestrial Observatory (PTO) Real-time earth observing multiple satellite receiving station © Trustees Purdue University

17. Promoting Indiana - SuperComputing Conference IU and Purdue collaboration on booths starting in 2000 Excellent national attention Helped build many collaborations, including successful TeraGrid proposal

18. Benefits for Indiana Grants –> new innovations –> jobs (pie vs no pie) –e.g. ~$15M aggregate for TeraGrid Better Health Better jobs Better quality of life overall

19. Acknowledgments Funding for projects described in this talk has come from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Lilly Endowment, Inc., Department of Homeland Security, State of Indiana (particularly through support of I-light Initiative the 21 st Century Fund) The work described here was made possible by the faculty, students, and staff of Purdue and Indiana Universities, and especially IT@P and UITS
