2 Outline 1 Program Goals 2 HPC Allocation Program 3 HPC Assistance Program 4 Partnering with NYSTAR CATs & HPC Centers

3 HPC Program Timeline Jan 2007 April 2007 January 2008 May 2008 July 2008 August 2008 October 2008 New Supercomput ers negotiated Collaborative partnership established between NYS RPI & SB/BNL Governor of NY receives a letter from 9 Universities in April of 2007, introducing the idea of a collaborative HPC consortium. NYSERNET, NYSTAR HPC Meeting at NYAS NYSTAR RFI Released NYSTAR RFP Released establishing States first ever HPC Program for NYS Review team assembled, award made HPC2 Award finalized

4 HPC Program Goals NYSTAR s goals are to: Make NYS a world leader in Simulation Sciences Strengthen NYS s position in the global economy and evolving innovation/information economy. Propel all NYS research investments forward Energy BIO INFO NANO Maximize the investments NYS has made in HPC assets and other research tools Attract more Federal research dollars SBTIR DOD DOE NSF NIH NIST

5 DOD Funding Rome Labs Directorate AFRL Operating Tenets Outsource majority of research/tech development to industry and academia. Information Directorate Core Technical Competencies and Grand Challenges 1. Information Exploitation 2. Information Fusion & Understanding 3. Information Management 4. Advanced Computing Architectures 5. Cyber Operations 6. Connectivity 7. Command & Control

6 HPC Allocation Program Allocate super computing resources Business Academia Government Steps to receiving time Online application Sign user agreements from assigned Centers Restrictions Must be a NYS entity (academic or business) Other considerations Costs may be levied on closed research. Some software does not work in these environments. Massive allocations may require cost sharing Proprietary research is handled on a case by case basis by the centers directly.

7 Goals of HPC Assistance Program Provide assistance in the use of HPC assets in New York Build off of NYSTAR and NY s substantial research investments Advance the science (academia) Apply the science (business) Create a knowledge repository (build the culture) Code Know how Applications Create a viable self sustaining community Make New York industries more competitive in the global economy through the application of HPC.

11 Illustrative Examples of HPC in New York (Business Use) Upstate Biotechnology Company Using supercomputers at CCNI to do analysis on billions of what was seen as unrelated pieces of data to aid in drug discovery. Fortune 50 Company Using HPC at Stony Brook/ BNL to do research on energy transmission and distribution systems to make them more reliable and efficient. Upstate Manufacturer Trying to develop better materials and designs to aid in reducing the power consumed by their product, this will allow them to leap over their competition. Upstate Startup Using CCNI computing facilities to do design work and proof of concept on what they believe will be a breakthrough in generator design. Big Pharma Using facilities at Stony Brook / BNL CCNI and Buffalo to advance their drug discovery and speed up time to market. IBM Using supercomputers at CCNI to solve the complex challenges in new innovative chip design.

13 HPC Circle of Innovation NYSTAR CATs Funding Opportunities HPC2 NYS Industry

14 The Experiment A Statewide Research Cyber-Infrastructure NYSTAR has funded nearly $500 Million in research instrumentation since This exercise will begin the process of providing shared resources throughout NYS. All taxpayer funded assets available to everyone. What we do here with this collaboration, portals and conferences will set the stage for these type of practices in other domains and set precedent on how we share instrumentation statewide. We must do this, its much too expensive to build duplicative services throughout the state.
