Description
Today, technology is ubiquitous, and nowhere more so than within the science and engineering community. Today's scientists and engineers can draw from a rich spectrum of resources -- from increasingly powerful and prevalent university laboratory and departmental clusters, to scientific instruments providing a deluge of valuable data, to high performance resources capable of running large-scale simulations, and more. As the technological tools for the scientist and engineer become more powerful and more ubiquitous, it becomes increasingly important to integrate these tools 'end-to-end' to support ever more cooperative, large-scale, and complex scientific endeavors.
Cyberinfrastructure (the U.S. equivalent of e-Infrastructure) is the organized aggregate of technologies that enable us to access and integrate today's information technology resources -- data, computation, communication, visualization, networking, scientific instruments, expertise -- to facilitate science and engineering goals. Cyberinfrastructure and e-Infrastructure capture the culture of science and engineering research and provides the technological foundation for significant discovery, synthesis, and dissemination In this talk, we focus on both the opportunities and challenges of building and delivering Cyberinfrastructure/e-Infrastructure and the key elements required to make Cyberinfrastructure/e-Infrastructure a reality.
Bio:
Dr. Francine Berman is Professor and High Performance Computing Endowed Chair at UC San Diego and Director of the San Diego Supercomputer Center. Dr. Berman is a pioneer in Grid Computing and has worked extensively in parallel computing, scheduling, and adaptive environments. Her current interests include social, economic, organizational and policy issues for dynamic, distributed, multi-user environments. Dr. Berman serves as Director of the San Diego Supercomputer Center where she leads a staff of 400+ scientists and technologists. She is one of the founding Principal Investigators of the NSF-supported TeraGrid, and directs NSF's National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (NPACI).
