7. Advanced Network Infrastructure Initiatives 7 CyberInfrastructure NSF Blue Ribbon Panel  Recognition of the new requirement of infrastructure to support leading edge science and research  Dependence on technology for future scientific advances  Cyberinfastructure capabilities include  computational power and high speed networks  distributed, ad hoc and embedded sensor networks and arrays  large data repositories  systemic security  large-scale interoperability and collaborative tools  middleware

8. Advanced Network Infrastructure Initiatives 8 CyberInfrastructure: Future Infrastructure  The “last mile problem” continues and is especially serious for HBCUs, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and Hispanic institutions  Research-group and departmental-scale facilities (100 to 1000x less powerful than national centers) are becoming increasingly important; thus, national centers need to be a factor of 100 to 1000x more capable  High speed networks with high quality of service continue to be foundational to research and education at all levels  On-demand (not pre-scheduled) and instantaneous access is becoming increasingly important (computers, data bases, networks)

9. Advanced Network Infrastructure Initiatives 9 CyberInfrastructure: Future Infrastructure  Comprehensive environments are needed for linking models from multiple disciplines and for synthesizing results in interoperable frameworks  The Computational Grid represents an important opportunity for the future and should receive high priority for support  Inexpensive and reliable tools are needed to support distance collaborations  Higher levels of security are needed

10. Advanced Network Infrastructure Initiatives 10 Grid Computing  Computational Grids are …  are enabling technology that permit the transparent coupling of geographically-dispersed resources (machines, networks, data storage, visualization devices, and scientific instruments) for large-scale distributed applications.  provide several important benefits for users and applications: convenient interfaces to remote resources, resource coupling for resource intensive distributed applications and remote collaboration, and resource sharing.  embody the confluence of high performance parallel computing, distributed computing, and Internet computing, in support of “big science.”

11. Advanced Network Infrastructure Initiatives 11 TeraGrid Computing Program  TeraGrid Is…  A collaborative endeavor  a single project with four sites  Argonne, Caltech, NCSA and SDSC  A new model for computational science  distributed, collaborative resources  bootstrapping of a new infrastructure  A production, national service  transition to and support for Grid applications  A collaborative endeavor
