Frank Wuerthwein
Director
San Diego Supercomputer Center
Research in data-intensive fields is a team sport. Teams are increasingly both multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional, depending on ever more rapid access to ever larger and more heterogeneous data from locations all over the world. Wuerthwein will describe how innovations in cyberinfrastructure across multiple projects are building interoperable global data and compute federations that address these challenges. He will cover both what exists today, what is emerging within the next couple years, and what the team aspires to long term. Along the way, he will provide examples of various sciences that use these global computer and data federations they are building. This session is an update to and continuation of Larry Smarr’s 2018 closing plenary at CNI “Towards a High-Performance National Research Platform Enabling Digital Research.”
