The Advanced Computing Systems Research Program

David J. Mountain
Technical Director, Center for Exceptional Computing

1:00pm Friday, 7 September 2012, ITE 227, UMBC

The Advanced Computing Systems (ACS) Research Program recently relocated from Adelphi, Maryland, to the Research Park complex next to UMBC. What type of computing research does ACS focus on? How is it organized? What opportunities for collaboration exist for UMBC? This talk will provide answers to these questions, explain how ACS tackles its research challenges, and provide a sneak preview of upcoming ACS presentations on specific research projects.

David J. Mountain is the Technical Director at the Center for Exceptional Computing (CEC), a Department of Defense research laboratory in the UMBC Research Park. The mission of the CEC is to collaborate with industry, academia, and the government to drive innovative research that will impact advanced computing systems at the multi-petaflop scale and beyond. His responsibilities include directing research activities in technical thrusts including power efficiency, chip IO, system level interconnects, file system IO, productivity, and resilience.

Mr. Mountain’s personal research projects have included radiation effects studies, hot carrier reliability characterization, and chip-on-flex process development utilizing ultra-thin circuits. He has been actively involved with 3D electronics research for nearly two decades. Mr. Mountain is the author of seven papers, has been awarded eight patents, and is a Senior Member of the IEEE.

GE Aviation's technical Co-op's/Interns gain broad exposure to varied areas of the Aircraft Engine business. Areas of opportunities include Design/ Development Engineering, Engine Services, Manufacturing, Materials, Sourcing and other miscellaneous assignments. Experienced managers mentor co-op contributions and development during their assignments. Co-op's build leadership and functional skills through structured hands-on and class room training that complements challenging work experience.

The Web is one of the most important technical innovations of our generation. It has changed the way we communicate, learn, shop, do business, and entertain ourselves. The Web is still evolving, becoming more ubiquitous and smarter, and will probably be a driving force in the development of our lives and societies for the coming decades. The Web is an artifact that we all have helped to create: the engineers who design the underlying computing, communication, and software infrastructure, the startups and businesses that develop use cases and applications and the billions of users who create content and serve as perpetual beta testers.

The World-Wide Web Foundation has launched the Web Index as a multi-dimensional measure of the Web’s growth, utility and impact on people and nations. It covers 61 countries with indicators assessing the political, economic and social impact of the Web along with metrics of Web connectivity and infrastructure.

The W3F explains why they have created the index this way.

"Much of the Web research that exists today measures quantifiable metrics, such as the number of Web users, speed of access to the Web, the number of broadband subscribers, or covers particular single-dimensions such as economic impact or censorship. Tim Berners-Lee recognized that in order to better measure progress to developing a more open and meaningful Web, and for the Web to attain its full potential as a transformative tool that can improve living standards, reduce conflict and improve governance and well-being, it is important to understand how the Web impacts social, developmental, economic and political dimensions as well. By compiling data across many different dimensions of Web health and making it freely available, the Web Index will help deepen and broaden our understanding of how countries can maximise the impact of this powerful tool. The results can be utilized by decision makers across the public and private sectors, as well as academia, NGOs, and the technology industry itself."

The Web index measures and ranks countries along three dimensions:

• "Web Readiness: The Index examines the quality and extent of Communications Infrastructure (facilitating connectivity to the Web) and Institutional Infrastructure (policies regulating Web access and skill and educational levels enabling the full benefit of the Web).
• Web Use: The Index looks both at Web usage within countries (such as the percentage of individuals who use the Internet) and the content available to these Web users.
• The Impact of the Web: The Index uses social, economic and political indicators to evaluate the impact of the Web on these dimensions. This includes measures of social networks, business internet use and e-participation."

The Web index is based on an impressive collection of data (available for downloading, including an RDF linked data version) and some thoughtful analysis. The site is well worth exploring.
