SUMMARY:The Rise of Supernetwork Data Intensive Computing
DESCRIPTION:Invited Talk\n\nThe Rise of Supernetwork Data Intensive Comput
 ing\n\nSmarr\n\nOver the last 35 years, a fundamental architectural transf
 ormation in high performance data-intensive computing has occurred, driven
  by the rise of optical fiber Supernetworks connecting the globe. Ironical
 ly, this cyberinfrastructure revolution has been led by supercomputer cent
 ers, which then became SuperNodes in this distributed system. I will revie
 w key moments, including the birth of the NSF Supercomputer Centers and NS
 Fnet, the gigabit testbeds, the NSF PACI program, the emergence of Interne
 t2 and the Regional Optical Networks, all eventually enabling, through a s
 eries of NSF grants, the National and Global Research Platforms. Over this
  same period, a similar cyberinfrastructure architecture allowed the comme
 rcial clouds to develop, which are now interconnected with this academic d
 istributed system. Critical to this transformation has been the continual 
 exponential rise of data and a new generation of distributed applications 
 utilizing this connected digital fabric. Throughout this period, the role 
 of the US Federal Government has been essential, anchored by the 1991 High
 -Performance Computing Act, which established the Networking and Informati
 on Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Program. Particularly impor
 tant to the initiation of this distributed computing paradigm shift was th
 e continued visionary leadership of Representative, then Senator, then Vic
 e President Al Gore in the 1990s.\n\nTag: Cloud and Distributed Computing,
