"last night's Opening Ceremony for th 2012 Olympics was filled with symbolism and storytelling over centuries of UK history. The Olympic pageant begins with an idyllis vision of green fields - coolly surveyed by a top-hatted engineer with grand plans to build the UK intro an industrial powerhouse. Played by Kenneth Branaugh, the engineer was named Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Then the industrial Revolutipn begins - with the bear of a drum, played by legendary percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie. In a gloriously surprising segment celebrating the National Health Service and children's dreams, Harry Potter author JK Rowling steps up to read from Peter Pan. And in the musical segment called "Frankie and June say ... Thanks, Tim" - The Tim of the title is Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Inventor of the World Wide Web. In the photo you can see Berner-Lee tweeting on a NeXT box from the middle of the stadium."

2016 back to 1985 Three Decades of Making Impossible Research Possible, 2016 11pgs 2.08 MB

In 1985/1986, the National Science Foundation (NSF) committed to "making impossible research possible" by funding five supercomputer centers:
The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign;
The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh;
The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego;
The Cornell Theory Center at Cornell University (later to become the Cornell University Center for Advanced Computing);
These centers, which celebrated their 30th anniversaries this year, have served as cornerstones of the nation's high-performance computing and communications strategy. They helped push the limits of advanced computing hardware and software, even as they provided supercomputer access to a broad cross-section of academic researchers, enabling the study of everything from subatomic particles to the structure of the early universe.

Spring 2017 CENIC "CENIC 20 Years of Connecting California" 10.85 MB

"There were networks in California before CENIC was founded; the idea of a network wasn't new. What was new in 1997, however, was the size, the scope, and the collaboration necessary to achieve what became CENIC. As the state that was arguably home to the people who created the Internet in the irst place, California had many scientists, faculty, and computer engineers building connections with their colleagues and peers at neighboring institutions. Fueled by grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), these early networks were focused in tight geographic regions. In the Bay Area, BARRNet-the Bay Area Regional Research Network-connected four University of California campuses (Berkeley, Davis, Santa Cruz, and San Francisco), Stanford University, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the NASA Ames Research Center. CERFNet originated at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, and provided additional connectivity to UCLA, Caltech, and the University of California, Irvine. And in the Los Angeles region, Los Nettos connected the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), the University of Southern California and its Information Sciences Institute, and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Each of these networks was a powerful player in its region, in large part because of the prominence of the institutions." And lots of more of the Internet2 story is in this document.

In less than a year, San Diego State University will be linked to 36 other academic and research institutions.
As part of the National Partnerships for Advanced Computational Infrastiucture SDSU will be the site of an Education Center for Computational Science & Engineering using the resources of the San Diego Supercomputer Center, located at the UniverSity of California San Diego.
Out of four similar national computer programs, the National Science Board would only fund two. Last month the board announced that the San Diego supercomputer system would be one. The other would a team of institutional partnerships led by, the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
