HUBzero™ Cyberinfrastructure for Outreach, Dissemination, and Collaboration Michael McLennan Senior Research Scientist and Hub Software Architect Rosen Center for Advanced Computing Purdue University

Why Cyberinfrastructure?

Cyberinfrastructure = HUB Online simulation……and more! HUB

What is a HUB? Demo: AVI MOV YouTubeAVIMOVYouTube Example: nanoHUB.org

nanoHUB Usage Statistics 90,000 users worldwide >5,000,000 hits/month All Top 50 US Engr Schools 14% of all.edu domains 333 International Ed Institutions 233 US K-12 schools

Leveraging the Platform …others ~ $13.5 million of development NSF Network for Computational Nanotechnology Mark Lundstrom Purdue University

Hubs ‘R Us hubzero.org 9 hubs online 9 under construction 4 later this year 5 in proposals Each hub has its own funding stream HUBzero: an organization with Recharge Center new

Web Server Platform for Scientific Collaboration Maxwell’s Daemon Physical Machine Virtual Machine Tools powered by Grid infrastructure Virtual economy for incentives and managing resources “YouTube” for simulation and modeling tools Integrated visualization Little bit of social networking: e.g., Questions & Answers Secure execution environment
