An excerpt:

The key to managing all that data, according to Jahanian, is a well-funded cyberinfrastructure system. “Discovery and intervention across disciplines demands advanced cyberinfrastructure, but demand has far exceeded our investments over the last decade,” Jahanian said. “The nation really does need another significant infusion of funding, along the scale of the early days of high performance computing. It’s time for us to do that, but by taking a much larger broader perspective of what cyberinfrastructure is: computation, data, people, and so on.”
