The second table (below) summarizes the currently active Dash allocations, which reflect outreach to new communities and research groups that have data-intensive computing challenges that might be amenable to faster time to solution using the new Dash memory-rich architecture. TACC TACC hosted three of its monthly Austin Forum events with invited speakers from areas of interest focused on science and technology. The goal of “The Austin Forum on Science, Technology & Society” is to engage and educate the Austin community about the numerous ways in which science and technology enhance the quality of their everyday life as well as the health, prosperity, and security of the nation. Two hours are devoted to a networking reception, presentation, and Q&A discussion among the speaker and guests, which reinforces the broader impact and intellectual merit of the program. Speakers and topics within this reporting period focused on: • Tony Befi and Brad McCredie, IBM: “IBM and Austin: Partners is a Smarter Planet.” Two of IBM Austin's leaders shared how IBM Austin is developing smarter systems for meaningful change and described the company's view of how technology is addressing major infrastructure issues. 89 attendees. • Dr. Jessica Hanover, Dr. Steven Leslie, Greg W. Hartman, Joe Skraba: “BioTech: The Next Big Thing.” Home to 3,300 technology companies, national recognized medical facilities, and a top-tier research university, Austin is emerging as a best-in-class life sciences community. The convergence of biology and technology allows Austin to capitalize on its global reputation as a technology hub. Collaboration between universities, hospitals, businesses, and others include curriculum planning, research, medical training, and support of life science initiatives. This talk highlighted the benefits and challenges of Austin as a community for biotech. 150 attendees. • Brewster McCracken, “Creating a Dynamic Clean Energy Economy.” Brewster is executive director of Pecan Street Project Inc., a clean energy/smart grid R&D organization headquartered at The University of Texas at Austin. Pecan Street is developing and implementing smart grid and clean energy technologies and business models. This talk stressed why Austin is uniquely qualified to lead in the 21 st century energy industry. 101 attendees. TACC openly advertises tours of our facilities to the Austin and central Texas area. Tour groups include visitors in K-12 (mainly high school), higher education (training class participants, university students, etc), industry, government, and the general public. A few events and impacts stand out with regard to TACC’s outreach efforts: 1) TACC hosted its first “Explore Creativity in Digital Space” event which showcased digital media, photography and video works in TACC's Visualization Laboratory; and 2) TACC was selected by the UT Central Development office to participate in Professional Advisors Day, a unique event that hosts professional advisors (attorneys, CPAs, and others who serve as financial advisors and estate planners). An overview of TeraGrid and its contributions to STEM research were given at each event. 10.3 External Relations External Relations Highlights The TeraGrid External Relations (ER) working group issued 29 stories and press releases, and provided media relations, event planning, and other related activities in Q210. Both TACC and LONI issued stories about how TeraGrid resources were used to mitigate the oil spill in the gulf, which began in late April and continued throughout the quarter. Efforts to work with NSF-OLPA 118
to coordinate press for all related NSF-funded research were taken. For all TeraGrid-related news, see www.teragrid.org/news. This quarter, there were 172 news “events” where TeraGrid was mentioned in a unique way on the World Wide Web, as was determined by Google Alerts for the term “TeraGrid.” This number is steadily increasing each quarter. There were 330 events in all of 2009. There is more ‘buzz’ about TeraGrid among bloggers and professional organizations that are now choosing to feature our news—especially internationally. TeraGrid is achieving broader exposure as we have made an increased effort to release news items via our outreach list to related professional organizations. TeraGrid’s FaceBook page has become more utilized and the number of ‘friends’ has increased from 64 in Q209 to 109 in Q210. See: http://www.facebook.com/pages/TeraGrid/106634599376129ref=search#!/group.phpgid=2562 777259&ref=ts Plan Year Six (PY6) officially began in April, 2010. Within the Integrated Project Plan for the plan year, Leake had identified the need for additional help with science writing, and graphic design. To support this need, .20 FTE of additional effort had been funded for graphic design services by Shandra Williams (PSC) and .30 FTE allocated for science writing by Jan Zverina (SDSC). Each began to provide additional assistance this quarter—Williams helped with web needs, documentation, data facilitation, and design assistance with TG’10 efforts. Zverina began to customize stories so that they were less RP-specific, and more relevant to TeraGrid in general. Zverina also took a leading role with the TG’10 communication committee efforts. Science Highlights Sixteen stories were identified for the 2010 Science Highlights book. The book will be printed and delivered in time for the November Supercomputing conference. Once again, Warren Froelich (SDSC) will serve as editor, and Carlton Bruett has been contracted to provide design services. Most of the ER team provides stories and assist with editorial efforts for this publication, as well as the 2010 Education, Outreach, and Training book, edited by EOT Working Group Member Ange Mason (SDSC). Discussion ensued about how to produce the 2011 Science Highlights publication. The incumbent TG-ER team will continue to identify story prospects for 2011 purposes, but the winning XD team will assume ownership of the production once the award is announced in April 2011. The printing and design will be funded with XD funds, and the production schedule will be determined by the winning XD team. We would anticipate that it will be delivered in time for SC’11. The piece will showcase XD science and technology. TeraGrid’10 Conference Elizabeth Leake (ER Team Leader, UC-GIG) and Jan Zverina (SDSC) served as co-chairs for the TeraGrid’10 Communication Committee. Faith Singer-Villalobos (TACC), Bill Bell (NCSA), Daphne Seifert (IU), Trish Barker (NCSA), Shandra Williams (PSC), and Michael Schneider (PSC) also contributed. Warren Froelich served as deputy chair for the conference, and most of the ER team had a role with the communication efforts of the conference. TeraGrid Resource Allocation Committee ER Team Involvement (TRAC) Efforts to identify stories via the TeraGrid Resource Allocation Committee (TRAC) meetings continued. In April, Elizabeth Leake and Dan Katz began to share the responsibility on behalf of TeraGrid External Relations so that it wasn’t necessary for both to attend all meetings. A printed letter from Leake and Katz is now included in reviewer packets for each TRAC meeting. The letter reminds reviewers to identify those proposals that are especially transformational in their field, or that use technology in new or unique ways. They are also asked to watch for projects that 119
