10. NVIDIA & Supercomputing NVIDIA Corporation has donated a Tesla S1070 supercomputer to the School of Computing for research in modeling photon transport and high-speed rendering. The S1070 has 960 compute cores with a peak performance of 4 Teraflops in a desktop. This donation continues a strong partnership between NVIDIA and the School of Computing through equipment donations and graduate student support. Jay Steele (Ph. D. candidate) has received three of the prestigious NVIDIA Fellowship awards, of which only 10 are awarded, world-wide, each year.

12. CI in Education CI involves people in interdisciplinary virtual organizations. 99.9% need not be programmers. Everyone must learn to think more creatively and critically. “ From K to Gray” education initiatives supported by NSF and the Supercomputing Education committee.

13. Questions???

14. Mission 1 Develop a human-centered CI that is driven by science research and education opportunities School of Computing has an HCC division. Several institutes at Clemson research the “human-computer interface.”

15. Mission II Provide the science communities CI tools and services: High performance computing ; data, data analysis and visualization ; networked resources and virtual organizations ; and learning and workforce development ;

16. Mission 3 Promote a CI that serves as an agent for broadening participation and strengthening the Nation’s workforce in all areas of science;

17. Mission 4 Provide a sustainable CI that is secure, efficient, reliable, accessible, usable, and interoperable, and that evolves as an essential national infrastructure for conducting science and engineering research and education.
