Cyberinfrastructure refers to the ability to access and integrate today's hardware, software, and human information technology resources in order to facilitate science and engineering goals. This proposal describes a plan of action for building and delivering cyberinfrastructure. The efforts of the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) will focus on the provisioning of a deeply integrated environment, which coordinates hardware, software, and human resources to engage and support users, and the development of critical infrastructure to drive research and education. SDSC activities will have particular focus on building the data cyberinfrastructure so critical to managing, understanding, and gaining knowledge from today's deluge of data. The Center will also focus on building the community for cyberinfrastructure: extending the reach of researchers and educators through deep collaborations, professional-level services and software, large-scale data management and computational facilities, and the engagement and support of new communities of social scientists and computer scientists who can play an important role in cyberinfrastructure as process-builders. Cyberinfrastructure extends the reach of researchers and educators past the capabilities, challenges, and limitations of their home environment.. Cyberinfrastructure provides a vehicle for accessing additional infrastructure that benefits users significantly in their research and education efforts. SDSC will be a core resource for cyberinfrastructure through highly valued, applied, and multi-disciplinary expertise and community leadership; large-scale data and computational resources; and robust, professional, user-focused software. SDSC will provide: o A broad spectrum of cyberinfrastructure software and services that enable users to coordinate available technological tools in their home environment with the larger landscape of cyberinfrastructure resources and impact their science efforts. o A Synthesis Center in partnership with the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Cal-IT2) [1] for leveraging infrastructure across projects and disciplines. o Intensive strategic collaboration projects among domain scientists and computer scientists that bridge science and technology goals. o An Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Laboratory that will be a flexible environment to support research, development, experimentation, and evaluation with cyberinfrastructure technology and tools. o A comprehensive Integrated Data Cyberinfrastructure to serve a broad class of existing and emerging data-oriented users. The customers and beneficiaries of cyberinfrastructure are its users, and the ultimate metric of success for cyberinfrastructure is the ability to focus on the challenges of the science rather than the challenges of the tools in driving new discovery. SDSC will build and deliver key services, infrastructure, and innovations that will enhance the ultimate success of cyberinfrastructure. Together with a community of collaborators including the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), TeraGrid/ETF, project-focused community efforts, and a broad group of domain scientists, engineers and computer scientists, SDSC will provide a cohesive combination of expertise, hardware, and software to facilitate the transformation of the cyberinfrastructure vision into reality.

网络基础设施是指访问和集成当今硬件，软件和人类信息技术资源以促进科学和工程目标的能力。 该提案描述了建立和交付网络基础设施的行动计划。 圣地亚哥超级计算机中心（SDSC）的努力将集中在综合环境的供应上，该环境协调硬件，软件和人力资源来吸引和支持用户，以及开发关键的基础设施以推动研究和教育。 SDSC活动将特别关注构建数据网络基础架构，这对于从当今的数据泛滥中的管理，理解和获得知识至关重要。 该中心还将着重于建立网络基础设施的社区：通过深入的协作，专业级服务和软件，大规模的数据管理和计算设施以及社会科学家的新社区和计算机科学家的参与和支持，在Cyber​​infrasture作为流程建筑物中起重要作用。网络基础设施将研究人员和教育工作者的覆盖范围扩展到其家庭环境的能力，挑战和局限性。Cyber​​inFrastructure为访问其他基础架构提供了一种工具，这些基础设施使用户在其研究和教育工作中显着受益。 SDSC将通过高度重视，应用和多学科的专业知识和社区领导才能成为网络基础设施的核心资源；大规模数据和计算资源；而且强大，专业，以用户为中心的软件。 SDSC将提供：o大量的网络基础设施软件和服务，使用户能够与更大的网络基础设施资源的景观协调家庭环境中的可用技术工具并影响其科学工作。 o综合中心与加利福尼亚电信和信息技术研究所合作（CAL-IT2）[1]，用于在项目和学科之间利用基础设施。 o领域科学家和计算机科学家之间的密集战略合作项目，桥接科学和技术目标。 o先进的网络基础设施实验室，将是一个灵活的环境，以支持网络基础设施技术和工具的研究，开发，实验和评估。 o全面的综合数据网络基础架构，可为现有和新兴数据的广泛类别提供服务。网络基础设施的客户和受益人是其用户，而网络基础设施成功的最终指标是能够专注于科学的挑战，而不是工具在推动新发现方面的挑战。 SDSC将建立和提供关键服务，基础架构和创新，以增强网络基础设施的最终成功。 Together with a community of collaborators including the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), TeraGrid/ETF, project-focused community efforts, and a broad group of domain scientists, engineers and computer scientists, SDSC will provide a cohesive combination of expertise, hardware, and software to facilitate the transformation of the cyberinfrastructure vision into reality.
