Cyberinfrastructure: Many Things to Many People
Russ HobbyProgram ManagerInternet2

Cyberinfrastructure?
• Ask any number of people “What is Cyberinfrastructure?” and you will probably get an equal number of definitions
• We need a common understanding of CI in order to build and operate it.
3
Cyberinfrastructure --- some definitions
• The term "cyberinfrastructure" was used by a United States National Science Foundation (NSF) blue-ribbon committee in 2003 in response to the question: how can NSF, as the nation's premier agency funding basic research, remove existing barriers to the rapid evolution of high performance computing, making it truly usable by all the nation's scientists, engineers, scholars, and citizens?
• The term describes the new research environments that support advanced data acquisition, data storage, data management, data integration, data mining, data visualization and other computing and information processing services over the Internet
4
Cyberinfrastructure:More Than High-End Computing and Connectivity
• Focused on sharing and making greater capabilities available across the science and engineering research communities
• Allows applications to interoperate across institutions and disciplines
• Ensures that data and software acquired at great expense are preserved and easily available to all
• Empowers enhanced collaboration over distance and across disciplines.

Nature of Today’s Research
• Research by Discipline Groups
• Researchers at Multiple Organizations
• They use technology to work as a team
• There is often more connection within the Discipline Group than to researchers institution

Example Researcher using CI
Jane is an environmental researcher and is going to find a solution to Global Warming. To do this she needs to collect and store data, do analysis of the data and run some simulation models to test her hypothesis. She will share ideas, data and results with her Discipline Group. Here are her steps in using CI

Performance
CI is a System. Individual components may perform well but the overall performance depends on the components working well together.
Work is needed so that users can determine the best combination of components and how to determine the problem when there are performance is lacking

Evolution of CI Users
• First Grid Builders•Built their own clusters•Use resources at supercomputer sites•Infrastructure for just their discipline•They provided their own technology support
21
Evolution of CI Users
Second Wave Grid Builders•Infrastructure still for their own community•They create their own IT support organization•Their IT organization runs the infrastructure
22
Evolution of CI Users
Upcoming Disciplines•Currently planning their CI needs•Looking primarily at their requirements for CI•Are assuming that CI can be obtained from
others
23
CI is not just for Researchers
The current focus on CI is its use by Researchers. However this is an emerging technology that will be used by all, just as the individual computer and the Internet has become a regular work tool.
24
CI Days Workshops
TeraGrid, Open Science Grid, Internet2 and EDUCAUSE have come together to try to help better understand the CI picture, and to better coordinate functions and roles in the creation of this infrastructure. One activity started by this group is the “CI Days” held for campuses to assist in their CI planning. This workshop brings together players from the campus, region and nation to share information and plan how to provide CI functions for the campus. The national and regional groups will also learn the campus needs to help better direct the evolution of the services.
