1 The Innovation Machine and the Role of Research! Infrastructure Investment:! Part 3! Diane Baxter, Ph.D.! Associate Director - Education! San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC)! University of California, San Diego! dbaxter@ucsd.edu!

2 SDSC : Enabling Scientific Discovery since 1985! SDSC Then! Founded in 1985 with a staff of 70" One of five original supercomputer centers, funded by the National Science Foundation" One of first 5 nodes on NSF-net (1986), a precursor to the Internet" SDSC s first supercomputer -- Cray X- MP 800 megaflops equivalent to today s Xbox" SDSC Now! 200+ researchers, scientists, educators, technologists, etc.! >$40,000,000 in research funding each year" One of the largest academic data centers in the world " More than 100 research data collections" Funding from NSF, DOE, NIH, Library of Congress, DHS, industry, and the University of California"

3 Cyberinfrastructure (high-performance data and technology tools, services, and connections)! Is: a technological and sociological solution to the problem of efficiently connecting laboratories, sensors, major equipment, data, computers, and people with the goal of enabling and catalyzing innovation and discovery." Includes: distributed, web-accessible research environments to support advanced data acquisition, data storage, data management, data integration, data mining, data visualization and other computing and information processing services beyond the scope of a single institution."

4 21 st Century Problems Require 21 st Century Solutions Supercomputing tools are essential to research How will Global Warming affect OUR lives?! What therapies are most likely to cure or control cancer?! Can financial data be used to accurately predict market outcomes?! Coordinated information technologies provide critical tools to address research and innovation at their frontiers! Will California s levees hold in a large-scale earthquake?! How can we use plant waste for bio-fuels?!

5 Research depends upon connections among many kinds of technology tools.! Instruments! Remote Resources and Services! Connections make research happen! Local Resources! Collaboration Tools! Libraries! High-Performance Computing Tools! High-speed data networks!

6 Cyberinfrastructure supports research with: Digital data! Computers (many sizes and designs)! Networks! Personal digital devices! Scientific instruments! Storage! Software! Protocol! Sensors! People!

7

8 Talents, skills, knowledge include:! High- performance and data- intensive grid and cluster compu7ng Supercomputer: research, design, building, and opera7ons in a produc7on environment Tes7ng, benchmarking and applica7ons- tuning Security Networking Computa7onal science and engineering research Data- Intensive compu7ng Data and knowledge systems Data mining Predic7ve data analy7cs Data Visualiza7on Workflow management Training, Educa7on, and Outreach to new communi7es

9 SDSC supports research in a wide variety of disciplines! Astronomy! Data Management and Mining! Life Sciences! Geosciences! GAMESS! Modeling and Simulation! Physics!

10 Q: Does investment in research infrastructure really foster innovation?! Historical background (very brief)" Innovation Metrics! Economic Consequences: " CONNECT Innovation Report 2012" SanDAG Economic Prosperity Strategy" Conclusions and Discussion!

11 S.D. history: foundations of innovation! Agriculture! Tourism! Ocean Science! Military! Universities! Medicine! Transportation! Communication! Research Infrastructure!

12 How do we measure innovation?! Tech start-ups! 230 new innovation companies in Q.1-3 " Employment! 171 in Q.1" 235 in Q.2" 366 in Q.3" Avg. wages ($112k) = more than 2x average non-tech wages ($49k)!

13 More Innovation metrics! Investments! $1B venture capital investment in first 3 quarters of 2012" 8 San Diego companies raised more than $260M in followon public equity offerings" Patents! Highest patents per capita in Southern CA" 3 rd highest county in state in new patent applications published" 3th highest country in state in patents granted" Grant funding (2012)! NIH funding: $870 M " NSF funding: $127 M (3 qtrs)"

14 What does that mean to the economy?! The innovation tech sector in San Diego County represents: " 5% of total companies" 10% of total employment " 25% of total payroll."

15 Collaborations foster innovation! CONNECT brings together entrepreneurs to support new innovation Solicit venture funding for new start-ups! Review and critique new start-up proposals! Provide internships for students at all levels! Vitalize a culture of innovation across the region through enhanced professional and intellectual connections!

16 Education supports innovation! San Diego Association of Government s current Regional Economic Prosperity Strategy notes:! Our colleges and universities play a dual role in our economy; they are both a wellspring of new emerging growth technology companies and are committed to the lifelong education and training of our residents.!

17 How do we teach innovation skills?! Create opportunities for TEACHERS to innovate! Build curriculum for students at EVERY age that includes collaboration, communication, creativity, and discovery! Encourage ALL students to look under the hood and become creators, not just consumers of new technologies.! Introduce ALL students to computational thinking skills that they can use in any field!

18 Computational Thinking Practices! Analyzing Effects of Computation Analyzing Problems and Artifacts Communicating Processes and Results Working Effectively In Teams Creating Computational Artifacts Using Abstractions and Models

19 Learning experiences with cutting-edge research infrastructure teach research, innovation, and communication skills that foster creativity!
