"... is launching a new "center of excellence" aimed at leveraging
   SDSC's data-intensive expertise and resources to help create

   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."

"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"
