From Elite Science to the Mass Market
• Four Examples I Helped “Mid-Wife”:– Supercomputers to GigaHertz PCs– Scientific Visualization to Movie/Game Special Effects– CERN Preprints to WWW– NSFnet to the Commercial Internet
• Technologies Diffuse Into Society Following an S-Curve
Automobile Adoption

“Calit2 Works Here”{
Fifteen Years from Bleeding Edge Research to Mass Consumer Market
• 1990 Leading Edge University Research Center-NCSA– Supercomputer GigaFLOPS Cray Y-MP ($15M)– Megabit/s NSFnet Backbone
• 2005 Mass Consumer Market– PCs are Multi-Gigahertz ($1.5k)– Megabit/s Home DSL or Cable Modem
NSF Blue Waters Petascale Supercomputer (2011)Will be Over 1 Million Times Faster than Cray Y-MP!
