TRANSCRIPT
NSF Vision and Strategy for Advanced Computational Infrastructure
• Vision: NSF Leadership in creating and deploying a comprehensive portfolio…to facilitate cutting –edge foundational research in computational and data-enabled science and engineering….
• Five Strategies:
• Foundational research to fully exploit parallelism and concurrency….• Applications research and development….• Building, testing, and deploying both sustainable and innovative resources into a collaboration ecosystem….• Comprehensive education and workforce programs…• Development and evaluation of transformational and grand challenge community programs…

Trends: Within TeraGrid and successor XSEDE, the Number of Research Projects,
Institutions and Users have increased
While the number of resources has decreased, actual core hours increased but requests
remain 2-5x available
All Scientific Disciplines have increased use of resources
As the resources increase, benefits are broadly distributed (green line) beyond the top 20 users (colored lines)
Use of all resources/services, including XSEDE, Blue Waters and NCAR are well characterized
• Additional Trend Analysis beginning: – Modest increases in parallelism (number of cores used) and job size– Emerging scientific/workflow/data analytic trends?– Industry? – Full costs highly competitive
• Complement with community engagements in the context of all five strategies:– Foundational research to fully exploit parallelism and concurrency….– Applications research and development….– Building, testing, and deploying both sustainable and innovative
resources into a collaboration ecosystem….– Comprehensive education and workforce programs…– Development and evaluation of transformational and grand
challenge community programs…
