http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/pressreleases/sdsc_announces_center_of_excellence_for_predictive_analytics/
PACE to Bridge Gap Between Academia, Industry, and Government
"... is launching a new "center of excellence" aimed at leveraging
SDSC's data-intensive expertise and resources to help create
the next generation of data researchers by leading a collaborative,
nationwide education and training effort among academia, industry,
and government.
SDSC is providing seed funding for the program, called PACE
for Predictive Analytics Center of Excellence. ..."
.....
"While education and training initiatives are a large part of PACE,
the project will also be open to collaborations and projects
with industry and government, especially using Gordon, a unique,
data-intensive supercomputer recently introduced by SDSC
and which currently ranks among the 50 fastest supercomputers
in the world."
.....
Federal Focus on Big Data
"SDSC's PACE program comes as the administration's Office of Science
and Technology Policy (OSTP) last month announced $200 million in
funding for new investments in big data research and development
projects with the announcement of its Big Data initiative"
