This two-week course is designed to teach scientists key skills and tools and the most effective ways to use leading-edge supercomputers to further their research aims." Edward Seidel is the Vice President for Economic Development and Innovation for the University of Illinois System. The U of I System is the state’s largest and most comprehensive public university system with universities in Urbana-Champaign, Chicago, and Springfield. The System’s three universities offer over 500 academic programs to more than 80,000 students. The System’s interactions with state, federal and local governments, and the private sector are significant and diverse. It is a $5.6 billion enterprise with an economic impact of almost $14 billion annually, and a sponsored research portfolio of nearly $1 billion.

Three Major 21st Century Challenges
• Transdisciplinary Converge around
Complex Problems in Science and Society
• The many challenges of collaboration and
culture
• Computing and Data Revolution
• 12+ orders of magnitude after centuries of
constancy
• Universities as Engines of Innovation
• The importance of interdisciplinary and
computational approaches

TRANSDISCIPLINARY CONVERGE
AROUND COMPLEX PROBLEMS IN
SCIENCE AND SOCIETY
Four Centuries of Gravitational Physics

4. 100 years ago, Einstein predicted gravitational
waves. Feb 11, 2016 their historic discovery
was announced!
Three trends made
this possible:
• Instrumentation
• HPC
• Data Science
They are intricately
connected!
Collaborations Grow as Problems Become More
Complex; Systems and Data Sizes, too!

Turbulence in Fluids
“When I die and go to heaven
there are two matters on which I
hope for enlightenment. One is
quantum electrodynamics, and
the other is the turbulent motion
of fluids. And about the former I
am rather optimistic.” Horace
Lamb, 1932…
Vincent van Gogh, 1889
• Turbulent flow via direct numerical simulation (DNS)
just possible on modern Petascale systems
• 100PF+ would allow complete engine simulation with
turbulence
• 40 Exaflop would allow complete airplane simulation!

Data-enabled Transformation of
Science
Astronomy 1500- 2000:
• Single scientist looks
through telescope
• Record KB of data in
notebook
• Require reproducibility
Sloan Digital Sky Survey
2000+
• Record data for decade
(40TB)
• Serve to entire world
• Thousands of scientists
work “together”
• DES (now)
• 200GB/night
• PB in decade
• LSST (6 years)
• Record data for
decade
• SDSS/night!
• 200 PB/decade
How can I publish,
discover, verify data
in this new world?

15. Integrating it all: Multi-Messenger Astronomy…

• Here now
• ALMA, EVLA
• Ice Cube neutrinos
• On horizon
• 20-30m optical?
• LSST
• aLIGO, Indigo
• SKA = exabytes
• Simulations integrate all
physics
Astronomy c. 2020!

20. Summary & Exhortations!
• Major paradigm and culture shifts: research
is changing dramatically
• Complex problems require collaborations at new
scales
• Way too complex for single groups
• Establishing networks of people will be critical to your future
• Computing and data capabilities growing at
unprecedented rate
• Take time to look at the bigger picture…
• Talk to your colleagues about what is going on
• Problems in academia, industry, society
converging
• Amazing similarity

21. National Academy Reports…
“Convergence [is] a culture shift for academic
organizations that are traditionally organized
around discipline-based departments….”
“…most difficult problems do not respect
disciplinary boundaries…convergent science,
[integrates] insights and approaches from many
fields…barriers to convergent science…
Data is a key enabler of collaborations to support
convergence…
• Enabled 1000+ scientists to discover gravitational
waves or 10K scientists to discover the Higgs particle
