PTL& RT -> PTI Transition
PTI model evolving
Where were we a year ago
•
•
•
•
Or 20 months
Or 14 months
Or 13 months ago
This past year, we took the
road less travelled
•
Collaborative research, development, and
delivery by faculty-led research groups that
are formally part of PTI, with professional
staff of UITS and IU Librarians, often in
collaboration with faculty in scholarly
disciplines
– World-class faculty providing intellectual
research leadership
– World-class professional staff executing RD&D
– Excellent students & postdocs
•

•
Sustained
Extend what can be done within IU via base
funding; State-wide and National impact
Economic growth and 21st century workforce
development
IU’s key brand identity for IT research,
development, and delivery
Still evolving (e.g. org charts). Everyone in RT

and DLP included by inheritance
PTI/RT Strategic Plan
• Document 1 – mission and
scope.
120
– Sets mission and direction for
RT and PTI
– RT maintaining its on campus
identity
– Many cycles of comment, now
finalized
– Collaboration is a core
competency
– Key going forward – increasing
diversity, reliability, and term
of grant-funded efforts
– What matters is extending
possibilities
– But economic impact is not to
be overlooked

“Hence the next IU IT Strategic Plan should be a plan to develop the
pervasive use of IT to help build excellence in education and
research in all disciplines, in administration, in IU's engagement in
the life of the state, across all campuses, and in collaboration with
IU's key partners such as Clarian Health and institutions of higher
education in the state.
The plan should sustain IU's leadership in services and
infrastructure, while maximizing how these are leveraged to build
excellence in education and research. And the plan should attempt
to take into account the impact of the new waves of technology
innovation in education and research based on the best predictions
and analysis that can be developed.”
Charge from President McRobbie

Cyberaide.org
CGL - Cyberaide: GreenIT
Problem
Approach
•
•
•
•
•
Advanced Cyberinfrastructure is difficult
to program.
Large scale uses a lot of energy.
Society must reduce the carbon footprint
while at the same time enable large scale
cyberinfrastructure to support solving the
most pressing societal scientific problems.
Investigator: Gregor von Laszewski
Achievements
•
•
•
Published or got accepted about 10
papers as part of the Cyberaide project.
Showed that in some instances we can
save 32% of the energy while only
enduring a 10% increase in the length of
the calculation.
Simulated thermal reduction through
clever remapping of tasks on
supercomputers based on real data.
•
•
Focus on algorithm design to improve carbon
footprint.
Focus on integration of energy efficient
hardware in the available
cyberinfrastructure.
Do not just focus on the development of
algorithms, but try to change the behavior of
scientists while not rewarding the fastest but
also carbon saving potentially slower
algorithms.

Next year - Short and Long Term Priorities
• Short Term
– HIRING
– Getting a map of the forest,
depiction of org structures for
clarity
– IC building issues
– XD
– Piecing together continuity
plans for grant-funded staff
– Continued operational
improvements
• PLEASE look at wiki before
ordering workstations
• Code repository
• Long Term
– System refreshes (DC, Big Red)
– Projects related to Big Digital
Bucket
– Communication mechanisms
that will enable everyone in PTI
to see the bigger picture and
drill down where interested
– Continuing to establish the
value of the PTI model
– Going from proposed to
approved EP plans – and when
done planning the work,
working the plan
– Scientist titles
– Ongoing – maintain list of key
focus areas
55
And some things not to overlook - sad, bad, and good
• In memory of Myles Brand…
• A lot of thrashing in the community generally
• A lot of really exhausted people here
• Peebles Lecture Series Started
• Geoffrey Fox named one of “10 people to watch” in 2010
• A year in which our success, in absolute terms, is simply
without precedent at IU
56
And it’s the end of a decade as well
• 1998 ITSP
• Where were you at 3 am,
1 January, 2000?
• Real leadership – check
• National center funding –
check
• Sustainability – clearly
articulated as goal, not
yet done
• Added value to University,
State, Nation, world definitely
57
Kauffman Foundation rankings of high-tech economies
So as the year and decade end…..
• We have a model for PTI, it’s evolving but so far highly
successful
• Selected a few things to focus on and improve in 2010
• Key: doing the hard work of doing, truly well
• Three closing thoughts:
– “There is a mysterious cycle in human events. To some
generations much is given. Of other generations much is
expected. This generation … has a rendezvous with destiny.” –
FDR
– "The struggle itself...is enough to fill a [person’s] heart. One
must imagine Sisyphus happy.” –Albert Camus
– We’ve pushed a lot of boulders up a lot of hills. More await.
But take time now to feel good, and give yourselves a round of
applause
