Jerry Draayer, SURA President
Board of Trustees Meeting
November 4 & 5, 2004
University of Arkansas, Fayetteville
Somewhere,
something incredible
is waiting to be known.
Jefferson Laboratory (JLab) Strong Science Program -
12 GeV Upgrade - CD0 ‘Signed’ on 4/1/2004
Chief Scientist, Tony Thomas on JLab Team
FEL Deemed a ‘Significant Facility’ by DOE
SURA / JLab Challenges -
DOE Competition of the JLab Contract
Improvement of JLab’s Safety Record
Near (FY05/06) & Long Term Support
JLab - A Going / Growing ‘Concern’
• Fully operational DOE particle accelerator
• Cutting-edge basic nuclear physics research
• 6 GeV electron accelerator (12 GeV coming!)
• ~$100 million annual budget, ~700 employees
• ~1200 scientists/year, ~70% SURA members
• Most powerful FEL in world / DoD supported
• Possible US Center for SRF / ERL technology
IT Program Highlights
SURA-AT&T GridFiber Deployments in Progress
NLR, LONI, LEARN, NERO, PNWGP
Atlantic Wave Initiative
Regional HPC/Grid Planning Effort
NMI Testbed and Testbed Grid
SGA engagement and renewed e-corridors resolution
Grids Tech Workshop Jan ’05 with industry sponsors
Computational Chem Workshop May ‘05

AT&T Fiber
SURA - NLR Collaboration UpdateThe April ‘04 resolution of the SURA Board, our access to AT&T dark fiber and the continuing efforts of SURA and the SURA IT community have resulted in the reshaping of the National LambdaRail in a way that is very advantageous to the SURA region and to the nation as a whole.
SURA’s work with Louisiana (LONI) and Oklahoma (OneNet) has resulted in these states’ participation as full members of the National LambdaRail, increasing the number of SURA states with NLR nodes to 7.
