National Science Foundation
Vision: Advancing discovery, innovation and education beyond the frontiers of current knowledge, and empowering future generations in science and engineering workforce
Independent agency within Executive Branch Established 1950
Annual budget of over $7 billion Funds basic research and education Peer-review grant mechanism

Office of Cyberinfrastructure (OCI)
NSF Cyberinfrastructure includesSupercomputersData management systemsHigh capacity networksDigitally-enabled observatories and scientific
instrumentsAn interoperable suite of software and middleware
services and toolsEducation programs to support future computational science
Foundation for CS&E across disciplines Pragmatic, sustainable infrastructure
9
Cyberinfrastructure Framework for 21st Century Science and Engineering (CF21)
High-end computation, data, visualization for transformative science Facilities/centers as hubs of innovation
MREFCs and collaborations including large-scale NSF collaborative facilities, international partners
Software, tools, science applications, and VOs critical to science, integrally connected to instruments
Campuses fundamentally linked end-to-end; grids, clouds, loosely coupled campus services, policy to support
People Comprehensive approach workforce development for 21st century science and engineering 9

CF21 Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation (SI2)
Significant multiscale, long-term software programPerhaps $200-300M over a decade
• $10M identified in FY10 ($4M OCI/$6M Dirs)• $14M annual in OCI in future years
– Catalyze significant funds from Dirs
Sustain: Connected institutes, teams, investigators Integrated into CF21 framework w/Dirs3-6 centers, 5+5 years, for critical mass, sustainabilityAdvance: Numerous teams of scientists and
computational and computer scientists with longer term grants
Experiment: Many individuals w/short term grants, funded by OCI and directorates 11

Software, continued Ongoing discussions to build this program
across NSFSome of the institutes will be discipline specificSome may be algorithm/tool themed (e.g., data,
provenance, viz)All should be fundamental to other programs
(e.g., SEES)Education, science applications, industrial
partners linked deeply MREFC’s, other large facilities need to
participate iPlant, NEON, LSST, etc…

Data Programs
DataNet: OCI Flagship Data ProgramFocus on data-level interoperability and data
preservation Sustain: 5 Centers, $20M, 5years (+5) Advance: eg. SDCI awards
~3-4 year, $1-2M, support of data tools for broad set of applications and disciplines
Experiment: eg. InterOp awardsSmaller scale, innovative use of data for new
communities

Planned CF21 HPC Program Sustain: Petascale-to-Exascale
1-2 Sustainable facilities (~$200M+)Likely NSF-DOE cooperation10 years (5+5)
Advance4-5 hubs of Excellence/Innovation, people,
expertiseMixture of data and compute-intensive centers,
supporting broader array of services Experiment
Explore new architectures, couple with application/software dev

Education, Learning,Workforce Development
Postdoc program: CITracsEmphasis on helping computational scientists learn
about CI or vice versa http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2010/nsf10553/nsf10553.htm
CI-TEAM: Training, Education, Advancement, and Mentoring for Our 21st Century WFPrepare current and future generations of scientists,
engineers, and educatorsDesign, develop, adopt and deploy cyber-based tools
and environments for research and learning, both formal and informal

NEON
Integrated sensing system to detect, understand, and forecast
Examining consequences of climate and landuse change and the effects of invasive species
Both regional and continental scales Neon CI:
Design, implement and support CI to adapts to and enhances NEON’s evolving scientific objectives and operational needs
32
Suites of Integrated-Colocated-Standardized
observations and experiments to understand
responses of ecosystems to climate change 20 core wildland sites 40 relocatable sites (mostly on mngd land) 36 aquatic sites (all but 2 co-located)
Including 10 aquatic experiment sites 3 Airborne remote sensing systems 542 Level 1 (primary) observations: raw data
calibrated into physical, biological or chemical units 118 Level 4 (algorithmic) continental-scale data
products 178 Terabytes of data/year, total
33
NEON CI Components
Management system to acquire, store, and manage samples
Heavily instrumented sensor platforms and arrays
