Economic Impact of IT

• Growth of IT industry coupled with

productivity gains across the entire economy have had enormous impact.

• IT industries accounted for 25% of US

economic growth since 1995.

– In 2010, IT industries grew 16% and contributed 5% to overall US GDP

• Use and production of IT accounted for ~2/3
• f the post-1995 growth in labor productivity.
• IT sector generates jobs: IT jobs have grown

125x faster than employment as a whole between 2001 and 2011, and in 2011, IT workers earned 74% more than the average worker.

• IT diversifies regional economies to include

idea-driven “creative” industries.

The Big Data Landscape I: Big Science

• Science gathers data at an ever-increasing rate across all

scales and complexities of natural phenomena

• Sloan Digital Sky Survey in 2000 collected more data in its 1st

few weeks than had been amassed in the entire history of astronomy – Within a decade, over 140 terabytes of information collected

• Large Hadron Collider generates scores of petabytes a year
• The proposed Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (3.3 gigapixel

digital camera) will generate 40 terabytes of data nightly

• By 2015, the world will generate the equivalent of

approximately 93 million Libraries of Congress

The Big Data Landscape IV: The Long Tail of Science

• Hundreds of thousands of scientists and engineers work individually or

in small, distributed, disconnected groups – all generating data that collectively represent an enormous, largely untapped scientific resource

– From running simulations, experiments, etc.

• Making heterogeneous data across many areas of science more

homogeneous could give way to breakthroughs across all areas of science and engineering

• Estimated 40 exabytes of unique new information generated worldwide

in 2010

• Only 5% of the information created is “structured,” however, in a

standard format of words or numbers; the rest are unstructured text, voice, images, etc.

How Big is Big?

• “Big Data”: “Datasets whose size

are beyond the ability of typical database software tools to capture, store, manage, and analyze”

• McKinsey Global Institute, Big data: the

next frontier for innovation, competition, and productivity, May 2011.

…Not Just Volumes of Data

• The science of big data is not just about

volumes and velocity of data, but also

– Heterogeneity and diversity

• Levels of granularity
• Media formats
• Scientific disciplines

– Complexity

• Uncertainty
• Incompleteness
• Representation types

Why is Big Data Important?

• Critical to transforming how science is done and to

accelerating the pace of discovery in almost every science and engineering discipline

• Transformative implications for commerce and economy
• Potential for addressing some of society’s most pressing

challenges

The Age of Data: From Data to Knowledge to Action

• Data-driven discovery is

revolutionizing scientific exploration and engineering innovations

• Automatic extraction of new

knowledge about the physical, biological and cyber world continues to accelerate

• Multi-cores, concurrent and parallel

algorithms, virtualization and advanced server architectures will enable data mining and machine learning, and discovery and visualization of Big Data

Potential for Transformational Science & Engineering: From Data to Knowledge to Action

• Integration of discipline (or media

format…) specific data, examine for relationships

– Disaster informatics

• 3D toxic fume images
• Simulations of gas spread
• Maps of census

concentrations

• First responder on-the-

ground findings

• Evacuation routing

Examples of Research Challenges

• More data are being collected than we can store
• Analyze the data as it becomes available
• Decide what to archive and what to discard
• Many data sets are too large to download
• Analyze the data wherever it resides
• Many data sets are too poorly organized to be usable
• Better organize and retrieve data
• Many data sets are heterogeneous in type, structure, semantics,
• rganization, granularity, accessibility …
• Integrate and customize access to federate data
• Utility of data is limited by our ability to interpret and use it
• Extract and visualize actionable knowledge
• Evaluate results
• Large and linked datasets may be exploited to identify individuals
• Design management and analysis with built-in privacy

preserving characteristics

A National Imperative

Source: PCAST (December 2010), “Report to the President and Congress: Designing a Digital Future…”– a periodic congressionally-mandated review of the Federal Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Program.

• PCAST calls on the Federal government

to increase R&D investments for collecting, storing, preserving, managing, analyzing, and sharing the increasing quantities of data.

• Furthermore, PCAST observed that the

potential to gain new insights … to move from data to knowledge to action has tremendous potential to transform all areas of national priority.

Administration’s Big Data Research and Development Initiative

• Big Data Senior Steering Group – chartered in spring 2011

under the Networking and Information Technology R&D (NITRD) Program – Members from DARPA, DOD OSD, DHS, DOE-Science, HHS, NARA, NASA, NIST, NOAA, NSA, OFR, USGS, etc. – Co-chaired by NSF (and NIH) – Initial charge was to come up with a plan, a strategy

A Complex Policy Setting

• Researchers want data.
• Public policy requires access to data.
• Public policy also requires protection of privacy and

intellectual property and other sensitive information.

• Much more to be done: Policy on data management

and data access.

Data Privacy

• Never more important than today
• However, not all data contain people’s identities (as in data

landscape III)

– Not a Big Brother scenario – Government (NSF) invests in privacy research

• Values in design research community:

– Identity cloaking, anonymization – Do-not-track cookie management – Obfuscation, blurring – Privacy preserving data mining, search, payment – Just-in-time crypto – Secure data distribution – ….

Privacy in technology; privacy inspired technology

Computing Research Agenda on Parallelism, Concurrency, and Scalability

• Computational models and programming

languages to enable new ways of “thinking parallel” and expression of parallelism at every scale.

• Algorithms and algorithmic paradigms that allow

reasoning about parallel performance and scalability.

• Software systems capable of handling both small and

extreme-scale data systems and aware of communication and energy use.

• Synthesis tools that generate efficient parallel codes

from high-level descriptions.

• Scalable and energy-efficient architectures ranging

from sensors to clouds while addressing programmability, reliability, and security.

• A new cross-layer approach integrating both

software and hardware through new programming languages, models, algorithms, compilers, runtime systems and architectures.

Advanced Computational Infrastructure

XSEDE&

• Anticipate and invest in diverse and innovative national scale shared resources,
• utreach and education complementing campus and other national investments
• Leverage and invest in collaborative flexible “fabrics” dynamically connecting

scientific communities with computational resources and services at all scales (campus, regional, national, international)

CIPRES+–+ Cyberinfrastructure+for+ Phylogenic+Research+

Opportunities for the Future

• Our investments in research and education have already

returned exceptional dividends to the Nation.

• Many of tomorrow’s breakthroughs will occur as a result of

new techniques and technologies for advancing computing science and engineering.

• In turn, scientific discovery and technological innovation

are at the core of our response to national and societal challenges – from environment, energy, transportation, sustainability, and healthcare to cyber security and national defense.
