Kentucky Dataseam Initiative Inc

Programs: High performance computing cloud: leveraging 14,000 computers (30,000 cores) operating in 38 school districts to create an innovative and efficient cloud computing resource. -computers serve critical education function supporting 180,000 k-12 students, but do not use all their computing capacity 24x7. -computers connected via common, reliable network. -computers are regularly updated with faster processor speeds. -computer operating and maintenance cost for research is negligible. -proprietary management software monitors and controls computers and research. -provides more theoretical (tlfops) than uofl and uofk super computers combined. Research: -provides 89% of computing capacity for uofl cancer center molecular modeling. -supports over 30 research teams in the last five years. -unique and critical resource tied to state and federal grants worth more than 41 million. -cloud based computing resource combined with uofl molecular modeling infrastructure makes uofl competitive in research, faculty recruitment and retention. -drug pipeline includes over 40 targets that potential drugs have been found using grid methods. -drug pipeline has had five technologies licensed to biotech -clinical trial in kentucky of first in class anticancer drug derived from the grid methods. -purchasing this amount of process from commercial cloud computing companies would cost approximately 2 million a year plus necessary programing and work around processes. Education and economic development programs: -largest number of apple certified engineers of any state (per capita). -professional development for 7,397 teachers, technicians, administrators. -66 college scholarships focused on stem degrees totaling 1. 3 million from morehead state university and the university of louisville. -technical, equipment and content support for governor school for the arts, governor school for entrepreneurs, western kentucky mountain workshops, and code kentucky. -business, promotion and education development supporting kentucky space industry including; if aerospace, space tango, exomedicine institute, morehead state university space center and school related programs.
