OptIPuter Chicago Infrastructure Goals

• Provide OptIPuter Dynamic Network Resources– In Chicago, 30Gb between EVL, StarLight and NU

– 20Gb between StarLight and San Diego

– Engage groups in Canada, Europe, and Asia (e.g., last week)

• Support OptIPuter Protocol Development with– Clusters with 1GE and 10GE NICS on each dual-processor PC

– Switches at EVL and StarLight enabling vLANs and LightPaths

• Support OptIPuter Applications Development– By Procuring, Building, and Connecting OptIPuters

• Prototype “Next Generation” Technology and Techniques– 30 Dual 64-bit Opterons, 100 Megapixel screen and 60 TB of Disk at EVL– Varrier Automatic Stereo and PARIS Haptic Integration with OptIPuter

Year Two Accomplishments: Towards Regional-Scale and National/International-Scale OptIPuters

• UIC Installed a large E1200 Force10 10GE Electronic Switch and a 128x128 Calient Optical Switch at StarLight

– Connecting GE and 10GE Metro, Regional, National and International Research Networks and Lightpaths

• The Metro-Scale OptIPuter has been achieved: – Clusters at StarLight Connected via GEs over I-WIRE to Clusters at EVL– DOT (Distributed Optical Testbed) at NU Connected via GEs over OMNInet

• The National-Scale OptIPuter has been planned:

– Agreed to Connect SoCal to Chicago via Pacific Wave, NLR, and CA*net4

– A Terabyte RAID was Tested at UIC then Installed at StarLight for SIO data

• International-scale OptIPuter has been achieved:– UvAmsterdam Installed a 64x64 Calient Switch at NetherLight– UIC Installed a 64x64 Glimmerglass Switch at EVL– Connected Lightpaths Through the 128x128 Calient Switch at StarLight– Demonstrated at SC’03 in Phoenix and here today– Vol-a-Tile, JuxtaView, PIN/PDC/ODIN/AAA research

OptIPuter Chicago Year Three Plans: National- and International-Scale OptIPuters

• The Metro-Scale OptIPuter will be expanded:

– 30 Dual-Processor Opteron Cluster with 55 LCD Screens, 60TB Disk, 30 GE NICs

– 30 10GE NICs will be procured and switched through the Glimmerglass

– I-WIRE 10GE Wave to StarLight from EVL

• The National-Scale OptIPuter:

– 10Gb Wavelength between SoCal and Chicago

– 8x1GE over CA*net4 (NYC/Chicago/Seattle) via User-Controlled Light Paths (UCLP)

– Create Demand as NLR Comes Up—Scientists will see OptIPuter Deployments

– 12TB RAID Storage and Clusters installed at StarLight based on SIO, USGS needs

• International-Scale OptIPuter Experiments will be Continued via GLIF:

– NSF Euro-Link/TransLight OC-192 has 4 GEs Available for OptIPuter

– Dutch OC-192 to Chicago makes 10GE Available to Chicago (and beyond) now

– Clear Intent of Japanese Gigabit Network-II and UKLight to partner with OptIPuter

– Upgrading the Force10 Electronic Switch to 16x10GE + 96x1GE

• No OptIPuter $$ for Equipment; Leveraged RI, RR, MRI Equipment Grants

• OptIPuter RA, Staff, Faculty Funding used to Implement, Test, Deploy
